What to Know

The Green Bay Phoenix lost both of their matches to the Wright State Raiders last season on scores of 53-67 and 77-90, so they're hoping to turn the tables this season. Green Bay and Wright State will face off in a Horizon League battle at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at Ervin J. Nutter Center. The Raiders will be strutting in after a win while Green Bay will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Green Bay was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Thursday as they fell 79-74 to the Northern Kentucky Norse.

Meanwhile, Wright State didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with the Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers on Thursday, but they still walked away with an 80-75 victory.

The Phoenix are expected to lose this next one by 9.5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 6-2 against the spread when expected to lose.

Green Bay is now 2-10 while the Raiders sit at 5-7. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Green Bay is stumbling into the game with the 16th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 61.8 on average. Wright State has experienced some struggles of their own as they are 25th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 76.2 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
