Milwaukee vs Oakland Prediction 

Milwaukee was one of the best teams in the Horizon League during the regular season, but it won’t be easy to get past this Oakland team. Oakland has scored 87+ points in three of their last four games and they have confidence after winning the conference tournament last year.
