Valparaiso at Ohio

Ohio (1-1) heads home after giving No. 10 Ohio State all it could handle, a 79-69 Buckeye win. Ohio shot 44% and held Ohio State to .409%. The Bobcats got back into it in the closing minutes behind the play of Stevie Taylor and Nick Kellogg, who both scored 21 points. The Bobcats are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 non-conference games, 5-2 ATS against the Horizon League. This is a nice home stand, the first of four home contests for the Bobcats in the Ohio Classic. In addition to Sunday's game, Ohio also will host Heidelberg (Nov. 23), Mercer (Nov. 26) and Evansville (Nov. 30) as part of the home event. The Bobcats have posted a 39-3 (.929) record in their past 42 games inside the Convocation Center. Valparaiso (1-2) has had to replace all five starters from a year ago, including 2011-2012 Conference Player of the Year Ryan Broekhoff. The Crusaders are on an 0-4-1 ATS run so grab the home court.
