What to Know

The Oakland Golden Grizzlies' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Northern Kentucky Norse at 3 p.m. ET Feb. 20 at Athletics Center Orena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The Golden Grizzlies were close but no cigar this past Friday as they fell 78-74 to the Wright State Raiders. That makes it the first time this season Oakland has let down their home crowd.

Meanwhile, NKU came up short against the Detroit Titans this past Friday, falling 60-52.

Oakland is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Oakland, who are 13-12 against the spread.

Oakland came up short against the Norse in the teams' previous meeting earlier this month, falling 87-78. Maybe the Golden Grizzlies will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the game and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
