Current Records: Youngstown State 2-3; Wisconsin-Milwaukee 1-5
What to Know
The Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers and the Youngstown State Penguins will face off in a Horizon League clash at 8 p.m. ET Dec. 2 at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena. Neither the Panthers nor Youngstown State could muster much offensive firepower in their last games, so look to the defense to decide this one.
It was close but no cigar for Wisconsin-Milwaukee as they fell 61-57 to the Alcorn State Braves on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Penguins were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap last week as they fell 58-53 to the Niagara Purple Eagles.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee is the favorite in this one, with an expected 4.5-point margin of victory. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past five games.
Wisconsin-Milwaukee is now 1-5 while Youngstown State sits at 2-3. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Panthers are 353rd worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 9.3 on average. To make matters even worse for Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the Penguins enter the matchup with only 10.2 turnovers per game on average, good for 26th best in college basketball. Maybe that strength will give Youngstown State the oomph they need to beat the odds.
