Milwaukee is coming into this game after a 20-15 season and they were 12-8 in their conference. They are 1-0 to start this season after beating a team at home who does not play in Division I. They have returned some of their starters from last season while losing others, but they struggled a lot to start the season last year and are in a similar situation here. Last season, they started the year 3-6 in their first 9 games with only 3 home games played in that span, and 2 of those wins came against teams who do not play in Division I so this is not a team that gets off to a strong start and they are about to play 3 straight road games to start their season once again. They are going up against a Northern Iowa team that was 19-14 last season and they were also 12-8 in the conference. They also lost some players from last season, but they returned some of their bench players as well as their leading rebounder who was also 3rd on the team in scoring last year. They are already 1-0 this season after beating a team who does not play in Division I, but they will be hungry to get off to a better start this season. Last season, they started the year 1-4 with only 1 home game played in that span, but this year they open the season with 4 of their first 5 games at home so they will be trying to take advantage as they have played much better at home over the last year. Northern Iowa will cover the spread in this game.
