The Wright State Raiders will hope to build on an 87-65 win over Weber State last time out. Trey Calvin leads Wright State in scoring and assists with 19.3 PPG and 6.3 APG while Amari Davis has 14 PPG and 5.1 RPG this season. Brandon Noel has 11.9 PPG and a team-high 7 RPG to lead the Raiders on the glass and to round out the trio of double-digit scorers for Wright State up to this point in the year.

Robert Morris is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 and 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a loss while the over is 8-1 in their last 9 games following a double-digit loss at home. Wright State is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a win by 20+ points while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a win.
I get the reasoning for backing either side here, but I’m on the Raiders here. I just don’t trust Robert Morris to be able to keep the game close. The Raiders are just the far better offensive team, and Robert Morris is struggling to put points up and I don’t think that’ll change here. I think the Raiders win this one comfortably, so I’ll lay the points with Wright State here.
