For what it's worth, the line opened at Ohio -1. It briefly jumped to -2 but is currently Buffalo -1

We open as a 1.5 favorite. Tons of movement though as Bulls now 1.5 favorite.

Edit: Sorry, didn't see Eagle beat me to it.

I guess Vegas' early verdict is that this is a "life on the road" team. I hope they're proven wrong.

Buffalo win at EMU probably showed they are still a contender. UB split the Toledo/EMU road trip. Most MAC teams would take a split on that trip this year.

So the experts thought we should and then changed their mind once the betters bet Buffalo to win. Am I interpreting that correctly?

I like the Messenger headline that his is an "early midterm".

Doesn't sound like they give their Bulls a good chance.

I think Ohio has a couple things in their favor tonight....like righting their road woes. Can Ohio turn things around on the road? WKU, Iona and Marshall still loom in the memory....can they put together full game and get a good road win?

This is the UB team that blasted Ohio in the MAC Semis last year....so I'm guessing a touch of revenge is on the mind?

It's been said....this isn't a must-win...but this could go a long way in putting Ohio firmly on top of the MAC. Not to mention a huge confidence boost that they can win on the road.

And let's not forget...they TORCHED UB up there last year on national TV (granted, it was without Bearden)

Vegas wants to have equal money spent on both sides.

Late money likes the Bobcats as the goes back to 1.5 for us.

Someone said this wasnt a must win. It was at least a "must show up." Is this really who we are? If we do not hit 3s we lose by 20? No effort..no excitement..outphysicaled..we will get run and lose like this in EVERY MAC road game!

We only have ONE driver..no one else will even go off the bounce..Butler will give Jaaron some relief next year but poor Simmons is all on him so far..Tony will barely get 1st Team MAC if he plays like this.

Was Campbell the only Bobcat to hit a three during the first half?

The rebounding is poor but if OHIO had made a quarter of the threes chucked up it wouldn't be a first half route by the Bulls.

I got the espn3 feed but it's been next to worthless. Freezes repeatedly and very choppy.

We got killed on the glass, missed lots of free throws and turned the ball. Bobcats lack focus on the road.

That is the scary thing that we lack focus. Same problem last year. And we really do miss Treg. We have no fiery leaders.

Tony fouled out with about 6 mins to play and put up his worst stats in a long time. Yet we still erased a large deficit on the road and we are up 5 at the under 4 timeout. For our first road conference game of the year vs. the team that knocked us out in Cleveland last year, I have no complaints. Not questioning this team's heart/focus one bit. Obviously would love better starts, and Buffalo is seemingly trying their hardest to hand us this game. Plenty of things to improve on, but good teams find ways to win games. Let's pull this one out.
