Western Michigan vs Bowling Green

Bowling Green enters this matchup on a modest two-game win streak, energized by their guard rotation that consistently outperforms opponents on home turf, while Western Michigan limps in having lost their last two. Although the Falcons’ center (C) remains questionable with an ankle concern, they boast a sharpshooting backcourt that has repeatedly torched the Broncos in previous meetings. Western Michigan, relatively injury-free, relies heavily on their leading forward’s inside game but has struggled to protect the rim in crunch time. With each team having played well over 41 contests, postseason seeding implications add tension to every possession; yet the Falcons’ recent surge, combined with matchup advantages and home-court momentum, makes them a smart choice at a reasonable price.
