What to Know

Get ready for a Horizon League battle as the Northern Kentucky Norse and the Wright State Raiders will face off at noon ET Sunday at Ervin J. Nutter Center. NKU will be strutting in after a victory while Wright State will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Norse beat the Green Bay Phoenix 71-62 this past Friday.

Meanwhile, Wright State was close but no cigar this past Friday as they fell 60-57 to the Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers.

NKU is expected to lose this next one by 6. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, however, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

NKU is now 14-10 while the Raiders sit at 15-11. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: The Norse enter the matchup with 9.4 steals per game on average, good for ninth best in college basketball. Less enviably, Wright State has allowed their opponents an average of 7.4 steals per game, the 42nd most in college basketball. In other words, they will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
