The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are playing great, they’re the best 3 point shooting team in the country, and being at home doesn’t hurt. However, the Wright State Raiders are an offensive powerhouse in their own right, and they’ve actually had success this season in the underdog role. This should be a back and forth high scoring game and I wouldn’t sleep on the Raiders. Give me the points.
