Delaware at Ohio

Delaware has a fine offense averaging 76.7 points behind 6-7 senior Jyare Davis (18.2 ppg, 7.5 rpg). But the defense is a concern, losing two in a row surrendering 81 and 88 points. Delaware is 22-10 OVER the total on the road after allowing 75+ points in back-to-back games, 15-6 OVER on the road in non-conference action, and 47-27 OVER as a road dog of 6.5 to 12 points. Ohio is on a 5-1 run OVER the total scoring 94, 80, and 82 points. They lost one of those games, too, 99-94 to George Washington. They average 82.2 points and are on a 24-14 run OVER the total, plus 89-57 OVER after topping 80 points in the last game. These teams met one year ago in a 95-76 Ohio victory and this shapes up as another battle with more offense than defense. Play Delaware/Ohio OVER the total.
