Youngstown State (7-4, 3-4) at Wright State (7-3, 5-2) – 3:00 PM EST
Today’s UTR Game of the Day heads to Fairborn, Ohio for a matchup between a pair of Horizon League contenders – the Youngstown State Penguins finish up a 2-game series at Wright State. While their league play has been a disappointment so far this year based on what we expected of the Penguins, they began to redeem themselves bigtime with a buzzer-beating 74-72 win last night. Naz Bohannon led all scorers with 28 points and had an assist on the game-winner from Garrett Covington.
The Raiders of Wright State got off to a 5-0 start in league play as expected – they swept Detroit-Mercy and Green Bay and blew out Oakland by 39 points in their first game against the Grizzlies. But Oakland responded with an upset the following day with an 81-71 home win. Loudon Love (15.1 PPG, 11. RPG) continues to be the focal point for the Raiders, but now Tanner Holden (16.4 PPG) has become another scoring option for Wright State as well.
