I think Wright State is about a five-point fav. I have no idea how this game will play out. But it is certainly a winnable game. The Hilltoppers are 7-3 with a win over our old rival Kentucky Wesleyan.

Expect Western Kentucky to push the pace and look to score inside the arc.
> Western Kentucky plays at a rapid pace (Top-6 in NCAA Adj. Tempo & Avg. Poss. Length)
> They are horrendous from the 3-point line (28%) so unsurprisingly 61% of their points come from 2-point FG (11th best in NCAA)
> Wright State on the other hand allows D-I opponents to shoot 60% from 2-point range (8th worst in NCAA)
Purdue transfer Brandon Newman shot 5/7 3-PT FG vs Wright State 2 seasons ago in Mackey Arena
The 5 makes ties his career high

Purdue transfer Brandon Newman shot 5/7 3-PT FG vs Wright State 2 seasons ago in Mackey Arena The 5 makes ties his career high Well when we had to double and triple team Zach Eden at Purdue, I’m sure Newman had a lot of open looks. Hopefully we can play some perimeter defense tonight and hold their 3 pt shooting down. As you said this should be a fast paced game, the 2 teams are very similar in shot selections, so a high scoring game should breakout unless we can play defense a little better than we have lately. I think home court gives us the advantage tonight, and the 5.5pt spread in our favor, should be pretty accurate. |

If AJ can start paying attention and make these easy baskets, that will be great.

If we could figure out who is breathing in their mic and smack them upside the head that would be great.

Ok, we have a use or lose time out. If that ball goes thru the hole with three seconds on the clock we better call the to...

Our big guys don’t play like they’re very big.

AJ is getting cooked. Would be nice to make some adjustments to slow WKU #0 down.

Nagy is so painfully predictable. That's two momentum killer TO after finally scoring. Last TO we gave up and easy basket. I predict the same here.
