T.M. Selection: Oakland.

I like Oakland to cover the spread against Wright State in this game on Friday. Oakland has won 2 games in a row now and I think they are going to make that 3 games in a row here. Oakland has been having a great year in their conference play, they are 12-4 in conference play and have the 2nd place spot at the moment but a win here can tie Cleveland State in conference record for 1st place. Oakland is a perfect 8-0 in their home games this year and they just won their most recent game by 15+ points on their home court. Of those 8 home games this year, only 1 of them was not won by 10+ points and I think Oakland is going to do what they usually do on their home court and win this game by 10+ points here. They have looked really good on their home court all year and the opposing team here, Wright State, is just a measly 6-6 in road games this year. They are still 12-6 in conference play this year but most of their wins have been in conference play since they are only 15-12 overall this year and I think Oakland is just a much better team. Wright State has lost 2 games in a row and I don't think they are going to turn things around here in this road game when they haven't looked that great lately. They have a loss to Milwaukee in their previous 2 games, who is having a terrible year, and their most recent loss was against Northern Kentucky who is playing very well this year but Oakland has been performing even better than them. I think Oakland is building up 1 final run here with few games left in the season and I expect them to play hard here to try and win out the rest of the year. Wright State had a good run but they look like they have been running out of gas lately and I can't trust them to play well here in this road game when Oakland has looked really good lately. I like Oakland to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 75-64 Oakland.
