Tennessee Tech @ Wright State

Current Records: Tennessee Tech 3-8; Wright State 2-7

What to Know

The Wright State Raiders have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles at 2 p.m. ET Dec. 18 at Ervin J. Nutter Center. Tennessee Tech will be strutting in after a victory while the Raiders will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The contest between Wright State and the Akron Zips on Wednesday was not a total blowout, but with Wright State falling 66-48 at home, it was darn close to turning into one.

Meanwhile, everything came up roses for Tennessee Tech at home against the Montreat Cavaliers on Thursday as the team secured a 117-60 win.

Wright State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 1-3 against the spread when favored.

The Raiders are now 2-7 while the Golden Eagles sit at 3-8. A couple defensive stats to keep an eye on: Wright State is stumbling into the matchup with the 12th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 78.4 on average. Tennessee Tech has experienced some struggles of their own as they have allowed their opponents to shoot 45.20% from the floor on average, which is the 46th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
