Milwaukee is coming into this game with a 19-14 record this season and they are 12-8 in the conference. Milwaukee was an awful team at the beginning of the season and they even struggled quite a bit to start conference play, but recently they have turned things around as they have been heating up a lot into this tournament and have been playing much better now. They have won their last 5 straight as well as 7 of their last 8 games with their only loss in that span coming at home in OT by 4 points against Youngstown State who finished 2nd in the regular season. They have already played 2 games in this tournament as well and they have been playing very well as they opened with a closer 4 point win at home against Detroit but followed up with an 11 point win on the road against Green Bay. They are going to have a lot of confidence coming off of that win against Green Bay on the road and now they will be at a neutral location for this game.

Their defense has also been much worse in these 2 games as they have allowed 94+ points in each. Milwaukee has been much better on defense in their recent games and they have a very potent offense that has been scoring a lot of points recently and will be able to match this Northern Kentucky team on a neutral court. Milwaukee will cover the spread in this game.
