Wright State is coming into this game as a 3.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Wright State has been playing very well in their recent games winning 5 straight and they absolutely ripped through their conference tournament, winning every game by double digits except for the final. They are going up against a Bryant side that has also been playing very well in their recent games but they have played against much weaker opponents in their conference and their non-conference record is not very good compared to what they have done against their conference opponents. Bryant has been scoring roughly around 70 points in their games but Wright State has not allowed many teams to score over 70 points against them recently. Wright State should be able to shut them down with some good defense and pull ahead as this game goes on. Wright State is the better team here and they will keep on heating up as they roll through this game and cover the spread.
