Wright State 6-7 (1-1) At Milwaukee 6-7 (1-1)
When: Sunday Time: 2:00pm Where: UWM Panther Arena
Streaming: ESPN + Radio: 101.7FM
LOOKING AT THE RAIDERS The Raiders are coming off a season last year in which they finished 18-15 overall and 10-10 in league play. Scott Nagy is in his eighth season at WSU and has produced a record of 155-85 overall, winning 20+ games each of his first four seasons and five times out of seven as well as three league coach of the year awards and four postseason appearances (2 NCAA/2 NIT). The squad comes to Milwaukee at 6-7 overall despite leading the Horizon League in scoring (83.5 ppg) and field-goal percentage (.522) while also having two of the top six scorers in the league on its roster in Trey Calvin (league-leading 20.8 ppg) and Tanner Holden (sixth at 16.7 ppg). WSU had won three of four to close out the non-conference slate but did get knocked off by Green Bay Friday, falling by a final score of 88-77 to sit at 1-1 in league play (also earning a 103-74 win over IUPUI). The offense boasts two more players averaging double-figures in Brandon Noel (12.8 ppg/team-high 7.1 rpg to rank fourth in HL) and AJ Braun (10.7 ppg).

Even if BJ is 100%, the Panthers will probably have to play their best game of the year to win today. Wright State is likely coming in angry today with their loss to Green Bay and the drubbing in the HLT last year. Their strengths also align almost perfectly with our weaknesses. They have good rebounders and one of the best three point shooters in the league. The Panthers can win if they play at their absolute best, but our best performances this year so far (Providence, Davis, Chattanooga) won’t be enough (at least I don’t think they will be).

WSU isnt that good, yall act like they are duke. They have the same record and have lost to some average ass mid majors too, and only common loss they have is vs Green Bay. Id say we just have to play disciplined to win this game. Spread at 4.5 shows vegas agrees with my assessment. Once more going to need Wilson and Fields to actually show up today. They were awful friday and need to do better.
