What to Know

The Youngstown State Penguins will be returning home after a two-game road trip. They will take on the Central Michigan Chippewas at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Beeghly Physical Education Center. Youngstown State should still be riding high after a big win, while CMU will be looking to get back in the win column.

The Penguins took their matchup against the Green Bay Phoenix this past Saturday by a conclusive 82-58 score.

Meanwhile, the Chippewas found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 97-70 punch to the gut against the Western Illinois Leathernecks on Sunday.

Youngstown State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 10.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are 0-2 against the spread when favored.

Youngstown State's victory brought them up to 4-3 while CMU's loss pulled them down to 1-7. The Penguins are 2-1 after wins this year, and CMU is 1-5 after losses.
