The Wright State Raiders are set to visit Beeghly Center in Youngstown, Ohio for a Horizon League clash against the Youngstown State Penguins. The Wright State Raiders come into this matchup with a 23-5 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the IUPUI Jaguars, 106-66. Leading the way for the Wright State Raiders was sophomore forward James Manns as he recorded 21 points and 5 rebounds off the bench. Junior center Loudon Love had a productive outing for the Raiders as he pitched in 18 points and 8 rebounds.

The Wright State Raiders had a good shooting game against the IUPUI Jaguars as they connected on 36 of their 62 field goal attempts (58.1%), and they were good from behind the three-point line (51.7%). The Wright State Raiders won the turnover battle against the IUPUI Jaguars (15-14), and they edged out the Jaguars in the rebounding department (45-33).

The Youngstown State Penguins come into this matchup with a 15-12 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies, 72-64. Leading the way for the Youngstown State Penguins was senior guard Devin Morgan as he recorded 20 points and 3 assists. Sophomore guard Darius Quisenberry had a productive outing off the bench for the Penguins as he pitched in 14 points and 4 assists

The Youngstown State Penguins struggled shooting the ball against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies as they connected on 26 of their 71 field goal attempts (36.6%), but they were slightly better from behind the three-point line (36.7%). The Youngstown State Penguins lost the turnover battle against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies (15-11), but they edged out the Golden Grizzlies in the rebounding department (42-34).

The Wright State Raiders are enjoying a great season as they sit on top of the Horizon League with a 13-2 record, and they are one of the top-scoring teams in the country as they are averaging 83.9 PPG. The Raiders have a handful of guys who can make a difference as 4 guys are averaging over 11 PPG, but I have been impressed with the play out of their frontcourt as Loudon Love is averaging 17.4 PPG and 10.5 RPG while Billy Wampler is pitching in 16.9 PPG. The Youngstown State Penguins have established themselves as the 3rd best team in the Horizon League, but they have been awful on the defensive side of the court in conference games as they are allowing an average of 74.8 PPG. Wright State has been dominant this season, and they are on a 4-game winning streak which I think stays intact here. Final Score Prediction, Wright State Raiders win and cover ATS 77-65.
