Don't see WSU pulling off two. They'll split.  NKU will barely beat GB on Thursday but will not hold serve on Saturday. 2

Three

WSU-twice (barely winning both games at home like they have done most of the year)
YSU-once over UDM, maybe a last second shot, as at OU, or in OT

Oakland (92) at Youngstown St. (86) 7:45 PM   (31%)
Milwaukee (65) at Wright St. (68) 7:00 PM (59%)
Green Bay (83) at Northern Kentucky (82) 7:00 PM (47%)
Detroit (76) at Cleveland St. (74) 7:30 PM (42%)

The percentage is the home team's chances of winning. All times are EST.

Of course we would prefer the home teams to win and I'll take three of the four with only YSU losing at home.

What's your thinking on wanting Wright State to win?  Just curious.

Because I view Milwaukee as a bigger threat in the long run.

That was me.  I made a fat-fingered mistake, but the survey was not set up to allow me to correct. Also, I LOVE UIC so deal with it.  8-)

Wright State won by 19 so not close. No KY does pull out the home win by 4 over the Milw.
