What to Know

The Youngstown State Penguins have enjoyed the comforts of home their last five games, but now they must head out on the road. The Penguins and the Wright State Raiders will face off in a Horizon League battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at Ervin J. Nutter Center. Youngstown State should still be riding high after a win, while Wright State will be looking to right the ship.

Youngstown State strolled past the IUPUI Jaguars with points to spare on Saturday, taking the matchup 74-61.

Meanwhile, Wright State was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Sunday as they fell 80-75 to the Detroit Titans.

Youngstown State is expected to lose this next one by 7. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with the Penguins, who are 14-13 against the spread.

Youngstown State came out on top in a nail-biter against the Raiders in the teams' previous meeting in January, sneaking past 90-87. The rematch might be a little tougher for Youngstown State since the squad won't have home-court advantage. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
