Northern Kentucky vs Wright State Prediction 

Northern Kentucky comes into this matchup after winning three of their last four games, but they did lose to Wright State by one point during that span. The Norse are shooting 47% from the field and they have scored at least 81 points in four straight games. Wright State has won three in a row and they have scored 85+ in three of their last five. This should be another great game, but I think Wright State’s defense gives them the edge. Take the Raiders here.
