Wright State vs IUPUI Betting Prediction
IUPUI comes into this matchup second to last in the Horizon League standings and they are coming off of a 28 point loss in their last game. Wright State has won two games in a row, including on the road against Cleveland State last time out. IUPUI is only scoring 66 points per game, while Wright State is scoring 86.3 points per game on 53.7% field goal shooting. Wright State is the much better offensive team in this matchup and I don’t see how IUPUI is going to be able to keep this game close. Take Wright State here.
