Wright State vs California Prediction 

Both of these teams picked up convincing wins to start the season, but Wright State took advantage of a non-D1 team. The Raiders will play a much more difficult team in this contest and they will need their defense to step up. California dominated their first opponent and they shot over 54% from the field in that game. It is tough to know how well Wright State actually played in their first game due to the opponent, so I am going to side with California, who I was very impressed with.
