Mid-American Christian kicked off their season on the road two weeks ago and hit a couple of potholes. They fell 74-69 to the Golden Eagles.
The last time the Mavericks won on the road was back last Saturday. Having now lost three straight away matchups, they've bumped their record down to 2-4.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Neb.-Omaha have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 31.3 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Mid-American Christian struggles in that department as they've been even better at 34 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out. Come back here after the game to find expert analysis of the match and other NCAA Basketball content.
