Cleveland State averages 76.7 points a game. Would it be appropriate to have contest to guess how many points above or lower will they score on Thursday?
I will start with 11 points over.

Over/under 76.7 is too much math in public, so I'll just go with a guess for CSU's total. Put me down for 93 (38 the first half, 55 the second), and I hope I'm very wrong by at least 15-20 too high.

Maybe the bright lights of national TV will make our guys at least look like they want to be on the court? Hope the crowd shows up as well! go raiders

We’ve lost 4 out of the last 5 to CSU. I’d like to think the team will come out hot given that and the recent collapses in Wisconsin. Only PFW is lossless in conference, great time to right the ship.

We are 4.5 point favorite tonight. It just moved to 5.5 favorite.

One of the reasons CSU won both games last season is they dominated the boards, outrebounding WSU 31-27 and 46-28 in the 2 games. Their 2 returning bigs (Enaruna and Tae Williams) combined for 69 points in those 2 games. Noel, Braun, and Carter will need to do a better job containing them tonight.
I'm surprised Cleveland State is hovering around +200 for a moneyline bet. For the first time this season I placed a bet for the opposition to win... so I'm expecting Wright State to come away with a victory.

39-35 WSU at half. Quite the year when giving up 35 in a half is cause for celebration.

This is great to see. Drew Carter needs starter minutes the rest of the year.

We played a much better second half. I want to be the first to say, I was wrong about our defensive effort. I was better tonight but still can improve. We had too many careless unforced turnovers.

Agree. Much better hustle. If turnovers were at a normal clip the difference is 20 points. Glad to see concerted effort to get ball inside continously and not settle for 3s. Noel played great d inside tonight too... |

This is great to see. Drew Carter needs starter minutes the rest of the year. Agree with this, he needs to play more. There were some really good defensive moments tonight. CSU looked stronger so it's nice to see our guys putting in the work to get some great stops. When Calvin is dialed in he plays some great defense. CSU's point guard looked like he was 200 pounds of muscle but Calvin stood his ground guarding him. His steal and throwing it off a CSU player from the out of bounces play was fantastic. Fun game to be at too, love when the Nutter Center is cheering! |

There were a few defensive lapses, but overall a nice effort tonight. Turnovers were the main issue tonight, but I'll gladly take that trade (at least with the hindsight of knowing we won). I know students are still on break, but was a little disappointed with the size of the crowd tonight -- I was hoping for more like the Miami game, but I guess Miami is probably still a more interesting opponent to the casual fan than our conference teams. The crowd was involved, though.
