What to Know

The Wright State Raiders will head out on the road to face off against the Indiana Hoosiers at 7:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall. Wright State might want some stickum for this game since the team gave up 15 turnovers on Tuesday.

The point spread may have favored Wright State last Tuesday, but the final result did not. They were just a bucket shy of victory and fell 78-77 to the Rockets. Wright State has now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.

Meanwhile, winning is just a little bit easier when your shooting is a whole 18.8% better than the opposition, a fact Indiana proved on Sunday. They came out on top against the Black Knights by a score of 72-64. The win made it back-to-back wins for Indiana.

Indiana's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Xavier Johnson led the charge by earning 19 points. Another player making a difference was Kel'el Ware, who earned 20 points along with 6 rebounds.

The Rockets' victory bumped their season record to 3-0 while the Raiders' loss dropped theirs to 0-2.

Wright State is hoping to beat the odds on Thursday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They finished last season with a 15-13-1 record against the spread.

The disadvantage in the odds might be especially worrying for Wright State considering the team was a sub-par 5-6 as the underdog last season. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 31 games they played last year would have netted $318.20. On the other hand, Indiana will play as the favorite, and the team was 18-4 as such last season.
