Detroit Mercy at Wright State picks and predictions

Prediction

Wright State 81, Detroit Mercy 78

Moneyline

Peg these prices as being fair; no leverage here. PASS.

Against the spread

These 2 programs split 2 meetings a year ago (SU and ATS). Wright State is just a sliver of a lean to get by with a 3-to-5-point cushion here. PASS.

Over/Under

The Over is 4-1 in Detroit Mercy’s last 5 games against winning teams and it’s 4-1-1 in Wright State’s last 6 games following an ATS loss.

Wright State plays at a top-30 pace, and UDM plays at an above-average one. Both teams are on an upswing with recent effective field-goal percentages. Look for fast WSU to get its shots and a couple of extra transition looks, and expect the Titans to counter with frequency and success from 3-point-land.

TAKE THE OVER 153.5 (-110).

Wright State at IUPUI odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Wright State at IUPUI odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Wright State Raiders (7-7, 0-3 Horizon) battle the IUPUI Jaguars (3-11, 0-3) Monday in Indianapolis. Tip from Indiana Farmers Coliseum is set for 2 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Wright State vs. IUPUI odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

IUPUI is one of the worst basketball programs in the league and sits at the bottom of the Horizon League. The Jags lost to Northern Kentucky 55-42 but did cover as 15-point home underdogs Saturday. IUPUI is 5-7 against the spread (ATS) on the season. It sits 357th in points per game, scoring just 59.9 per contest.

Wright State, which is typically a top Horizon League side, has struggled as well. It is just 6-6 ATS this season and also failed to cover against NKU in its last game, losing 78-64. The Raiders were 2.5-point road underdogs in the Dec. 29th battle. They are 4-5 ATS in their last 9 games that featured a spread. The Raiders rank 12th in the nation in field goal percentage (50%).

Wright State at IUPUI picks and predictions

Prediction

Wright State 74, IUPUI 56

Moneyline

PASS.

Look to the spread for value here.

Against the spread

BET WRIGHT STATE -14.5 (-115).

IUPUI is 2-2 at home this season, but those were games that didn’t feature a spread and weren’t against Division 1 opponents. They are just 1-1 ATS at home in games that featured a spread.

The Jags don’t just struggle to score but struggle to stop their opponent, ranking 318th in opponents’ field goal percentage (45.8%). Wright State should abuse that weakness. The Raiders are 2-2 ATS in their last 4 games with a spread and are 3-2 ATS on the road this season.

Considering their strength on the road mixed with their offensive efficiency, back WRIGHT STATE -14.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 137.5 (-110).

Neither team has consistently covered the Over this season. Wright State is 5-6-1 O/U while IUPUI is 5-7 O/U. The Under is 5-4 in the Raiders last 9 games with a total. while it is 2-0 in IUPUI’s last 2 games.

With IUPUI having one of the worst offenses in the nation, ranking 357th in 3-point field goal percentage (27.1%), points may difficult to come by in this game.

With those in mind, for a smaller unit, play the UNDER 137.5 (-110).

March Madness: Wright State vs. Arizona odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Wright State vs. Arizona odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 16-seed Wright State Raiders (22-13) meet the No. 1 Arizona Wildcats (31-3) Friday night in a first-round South Region game. The game at Viejas Arena in San Diego is slated to tip off at 7:27 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Wright State vs. Arizona odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Wright State bounced Bryant in a First Four game Wednesday. The quick-tempo Raiders scored their most points in a single game since January with the 93-82 conquest. The win marked WSU’s sixth straight; the Raiders have shot 48% while getting to the line 22.7 times per game over that streak.

Arizona took care of business and closed out its Pac-12 Conference Tournament championship win over UCLA in impressive fashion. The Wildcats shot 51.9% from the floor and 50% from beyond the arc in the title game. Since Feb. 7, UA is 12-1 and shooting 52.4% from the field and 39.2% from distance. And despite that accurate shooting (and the fewer offensive rebounding chances), the No. 2 team in the nation has been dominating teams on the boards.

  • Over/Under (O/U): 156.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)

[tipico]

Wright State vs. Arizona odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 91, Wright State 67

Money line

PASS.

Against the spread

The Raiders are 0-4 ATS in their last four games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game.

Wright State likes to generate offense in the paint, but Arizona is more-than well-equipped to handle that style of play. The Wildcats should get more than their fair share on the offensive boards.

Of course, the point spread is the great equalizer. In their last nine games lined as a favorite of 15 points or more, the Wildcats are just 2-7 ATS. But with Wright State traveling more-than halfway across country after a high-energy, emotional, hometown win Wednesday, ARIZONA -21.5 (-112)  is worth consideration here.

Over/Under

These are two fast-paced teams. There isn’t much to work with here, but tag the OVER 156.5 (-110)  with a slight lean. The talent disparity and styles of play are such that UA could muscle its way to some quick runs and the endgame minutes should be a meaningless exchange of relatively quick buckets.

[tipico]

Bryant vs. Wright State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Bryant 79, Wright State 77

Money line

Both teams have had similar ups and downs in the way their seasons played out, and both are on solid trend lines of late. Peg the key peripheral advantages to be pretty evenly split.

Wright State is deserving of the favorite mantel here but not the price. There is value on a veteran Bulldogs five hitting the offensive glass hard of late.

BACK BRYANT (+140).

Against the spread

The Raiders fit the bill as a fade with some 3-point regression at both ends candidate. Both teams play an up-tempo style but Bryant has a bit more experience in fast vs. fast games.

TAKE THE BULLDOGS +3.5 (-112).

Over/Under

The quick pace gets fuel from a Bryant team that will launch a lot of treys and likely from a decent number of second-chance buckets.

TAKE THE OVER 153.5 (-112).

[tipico]

Wright State vs. Northern Kentucky odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Northern Kentucky 77, Wright State 71

Money line

NORTHERN KENTUCKY (-120) is a strong play as it looks for its third win in as many tries against Wright State. The Norse have gotten red-hot at the right time, rattling off five consecutive victories in a row, while going 10-2 since Jan. 30. The Norse will be going back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2019 after this victory, Darrin Horn’s first as head coach.

Against the spread

NORTHERN KENTUCKY -1.5 (-105) has been an outstanding play for bettors since the end of January, failing to cover just twice in 16 games. The Norse have also posted covers in each of the meetings in the regular season, and while cashing in each of the past four in the series. NKU has dominated Wright State in recent seasons, and Tuesday’s meeting will be no different.

Over/Under

The OVER 134.5 (-110) has been the rule so far during the Horizon League tournament, cashing in nine of the 10 games to date. Look for another, as the Over is sure to follow when these teams do battle.

The Over is 6-2 across the past eight in the series, while cashing in five of the last seven games overall for Wright State. The Over is 7-5 in the past 12 games overall for NKU, including the most recent meeting against Wright State Feb. 13.

Wright State vs. Cleveland State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Wright State 75, Cleveland State 73

Money line

Cleveland State is shaky against midrange jumpers, and that’s a point of strength for Wright State. The Raiders logged three clunky losses in February but were otherwise solid in ending their season on a strong trend line.

Wright State — the second-fastest team in a slower-than-average Horizon League — makes for tough opponent for a Vikings five, which would rather be pitted a slow-tempo foe. The Raiders led their second meeting against CSU much of the way before falling 71-67. It’s tough to defeat a team three times.

TAKE WRIGHT STATE (-103).

Against the spread

There isn’t enough of a cushion to mess with here. PASS.

Over/Under

Peg this game with an above-average pace and a decent number of attempts from the foul line. Other factors are wild cards, and the lean isn’t a strong one — but there is a lean on the OVER 146.5 (-112).
