Watch Western Michigan vs. Bowling Green: How to live stream, TV channel, start time for Saturday’s NCAAB game

Who’s Playing

Bowling Green @ Western Michigan

Current Records: Bowling Green 9-9; Western Michigan 4-13

What to Know

The Western Michigan Broncos and the Bowling Green Falcons are set to square off in a Mid-American matchup at 2 p.m. ET Jan. 22 at University Arena in Read Fieldhouse. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.

The Broncos were just a bucket shy of a victory on Tuesday and fell 74-73 to the Akron Zips.

Meanwhile, Bowling Green has to be aching after a bruising 91-66 defeat to Akron on Thursday.

WMU is expected to lose this next one by 6.5. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a three-game streak of ATS wins.

WMU is now 4-13 while Bowling Green sits at 9-9. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Broncos are stumbling into the game with the 11th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 77.6 on average. The Falcons have had an even harder time: they are sixth worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 78.3 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
