What to Know

The Wright State Raiders have enjoyed the comforts of home their last four games, but now they must head out on the road. The Raiders and the Robert Morris Colonials will face off in a Horizon League battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at UPMC Events Center. Wright State won both of their matches against Robert Morris last season (79-70 and 86-56) and is aiming for the same result this time around.

While not quite a landslide, the contest between Wright State and the IUPUI Jaguars on Saturday was still a pretty decisive one as Wright State wrapped it up with a 72-58 win at home.

Meanwhile, Robert Morris was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Sunday as they fell 76-70 to the PFW Mastodons.

Wright State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 3-6 against the spread when favored.

The Raiders are now 8-7 while the Colonials sit at 2-13. A couple defensive stats to keep an eye on: Wright State is 49th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 74.2 on average. Robert Morris have had an even harder time: they are stumbling into the game with the 13th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 77.5 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
