The Wright State Raiders are set to visit UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a Horizon League clash against the Milwaukee Panthers. The Wright State Raiders come into this matchup with an 18-4 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Northern Kentucky Norse, 95-63. Leading the way for the Wright State Raiders was freshman guard Tanner Holden as he recorded 20 points and 13 rebounds. Senior forward Bill Wampler had a productive outing for the Raiders as he pitched in 19 points and 6 assists.

The Wright State Raiders lost the turnover battle against the Northern Kentucky Norse (14-9), but they dominated the Norse in the rebounding department (43-28).

The Milwaukee Panthers come into this matchup with a 10-11 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Cleveland State Vikings, 70-53. Leading the way for the Milwaukee Panthers was senior guard Darius Roy as he recorded 11 points and 4 rebounds off the bench.

The Wright State Raiders have been dominant in the Horizon League thus far as they bring an 8-1 record into this matchup, but that is to be expected out of them as they are 18-4 and coming off an NCAA Tournament appearance. The Raiders are one of the top-scoring teams in the country as they are averaging 81.5 PPG, and they have been sensational at hitting the three-pointer, especially in conference play as they are connecting on 42.9% of their attempts. Milwaukee has a handful of guys who can score the basketball as their starting backcourt is averaging a combined 30.6 PPG, but they have struggled on the defensive side of the court as they are allowing conference opponents to score an average of 74.8 PPG. The Wright State Raiders shouldn’t lose another conference game this season, and they shouldn’t have a problem dominating a Milwaukee team that has underperformed with a 10-11 record. Final Score Prediction, Wright State Raiders win and cover ATS 77-67.
