Both teams secured a win last time out and will look to make it two in a row when they leave the court tonight as the visiting Wright State Raiders got a much-needed win over Northwestern Ohio to snap a four-game losing skid.
Meanwhile, the Miami (Ohio) Redhawks took down Bellarmine to secure their first road win of the season. Now they're back home looking to get back to .500 on the season, against a Raiders squad looking to get back over .500 tonight.
We'll see who can walk away victorious and start a winning streak as they head into their holiday breaks.

Wright State vs. Miami (OH) Betting Prediction
In tight games, free throws are usually the difference between victory and defeat, especially at the collegiate level. Wright State's shakiness from the free-throw line may doom them, especially when contrasted with Miami (OH)'s proficiency at the line. The points that Wright State leaves at the line will cost them the game. The Redhawks will win because of it.
