Green Bay @ Youngstown State

Current Records: Green Bay 4-14; Youngstown State 10-10

What to Know

After a five-game homestand, the Green Bay Phoenix will be on the road. Green Bay and the Youngstown State Penguins will face off in a Horizon League battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at Beeghly Physical Education Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

The Phoenix came up short against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies on Saturday, falling 68-61.

Meanwhile, the contest between Youngstown State and the PFW Mastodons on Sunday was not a total blowout, but with Youngstown State falling 82-71 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one.

Green Bay is expected to lose this next one by 6.5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 9-2 against the spread when expected to lose.

Green Bay found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 82-58 punch to the gut against the Penguins in the teams' previous meeting last December. Can the Phoenix avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
