What to Know

After a two-game homestand, the Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers will be on the road. The Panthers and the Wright State Raiders will face off in a Horizon League battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at Ervin J. Nutter Center. The teams split their matchups last year, with Wright State winning the first 92-82 at home on the road and Wisconsin-Milwaukee taking the second 94-92.

Wisconsin-Milwaukee took their matchup against the St. Xavier (IL) Cougars last Thursday by a conclusive 74-52 score.

Meanwhile, Wright State was expected to lose against the NC State Wolfpack last week, but instead they received a nice stocking stuffer. The stars were brightly shining for Wright State in an 84-70 win over NC State. The Raiders' forward Grant Basile looked sharp as he dropped a double-double on 23 points and 14 rebounds.

The Panthers are expected to lose this next one by 8. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the team is 1-3 ATS when expected to lose.

The wins brought Wisconsin-Milwaukee up to 3-8 and Wright State to 4-7. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: Wisconsin-Milwaukee is stumbling into the contest with the 27th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 63.9 on average. The Raiders have experienced some struggles of their own as they are 24th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 76.3 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
