Wright St. Raiders @ Central Michigan Chippewas
7:00 EST
Wright has played 2 more games than CMU, and exceeds
them in virtually every statistic:
PPG 65.2 - 62.3
FG% .422 - .414
FT% .75 - .717
3PT% .361 - .359
TO's 11.3 - 15.4
CMU only beats them in overall RPG, 36-29.5.. but that stat
could be skewed by non-challenged defensive rebounds when they
were trailing deeply. SPG is about equal 6.7-6.9.
WSU's last two road losses were at Cincinnati and Detroit, two
teams that can really score. They played these teams tight at their own courts, scoring high 60s. On Nov 23 they beat Oakland which just lost to Mich St by only 1 pt. Their last two games were at home, where they cruised past Air Force by 15 and Tusculum by 13.
With their last two road trips against clearly superior opponents and tougher
home crowds, I believe the Raiders are battle-hardened enough to
take this less challenging game, as long as they put in the effort.
Guard Troy Tabler, 13.5 PPG is expected to play, small head injury from the game
vs Tusculum.
