Wright State Raiders
The Wright State Raiders come into Thursday night at 13-10 overall and 6-6 in Horizon League play. They have won two straight games, though, beating Milwaukee and Green Bay to get back to .500 in conference competition. But they face a much tougher opponent here against the offensively gifted Penguins.
Wright State has some offensive firepower of its own coming into this matchup. The Raiders are averaging 80 points per game, and they will need to fire on all cylinders to keep up with the Penguins in what should be an entertaining affair in Ohio on Thursday night.
Youngstown State Penguins
Youngstown State is tied for first place in the Horizon League entering Thursday’s action. They are 9-3 in conference play and 17-6 overall. Here, their electric offense will look to carry the day again en route to a third straight win and a 10th in league play on the season.
The Penguins have slowed down offensively to a degree over their last two games. Despite beating Detroit Mercy and Oakland over their last two contests, the Penguins averaged 75 points per game over those two matchups. That is a far cry from their season average of 83.7 points per game, and the Penguins will need to put things back together in order to extend their winning streak here.
