Wright State Raiders vs Northern Kentucky Norse prediction
The Northern Kentucky Norse are at home, and they’ll have their chances to win this game in a battle between two subpar Horizon teams. However, the Wright State Raiders are just the better team that may struggle defensively but is one of the best offenses in all of college basketball. In fact, Wright State is first in offensive field goal percentage. There’s probably better options out there on this fine Sunday CBB card, but I’ll lay the bucket with the Wright State Raiders if forced to pick.
