The Wright State Raiders and the Robert Morris Colonials meet in college basketball action from the UPMC Events Center on Thursday night.

Tanner Holden leads Wright State in scoring and assists with 19.9 PPG and 2.8 APG while Grant Basile has 17.5 PPG and a team-high 8.8 RPG to lead the Raiders on the glass. Trey Calvin has 13.9 PPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for Wright State so far this season. As a team, Wright State is averaging 74.7 PPG on 45.9% shooting from the field, 29.2% from three and 77.1% from the foul line while allowing 74.2 PPG on 44.7% shooting from the field and 33.4% from three this season.

The Robert Morris Colonials will try to snap a four-game losing streak after a 76-70 loss at the hands of IPFW in their last game. Rasheem Dunn leads the Colonials in scoring and assists with 12.8 PPG and 4.1 APG while Kahliel Spear has 12.5 PPG with a team-high 6.9 RPG to lead the Colonials on the glass and Kam Farris has 10 PPG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for the Colonials so far this season. Justin Winston has 9.1 PPG and Michael Green III has 9 PPG as well this season for Robert Morris.

Wright State is 4-15 ATS in their last 19 games overall and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a losing record while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 road games. Robert Morris is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games and 5-21-1 ATS in their last 27 games overall while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 home games.

I’m not a fan of laying points with certain teams on the road, and Wright State is bordering on one of those teams after not covering against IUPUI last time out. However, Robert Morris has been one of the worst teams in the Horizon so far this season and even playing at home hasn’t helped their cause. I just think this is a spot where Wright State goes on the road and handles their business, so I’ll lay the points with Wright State here.
