What to know

The Wisconsin-Milwaukee leopards and the Youngstown State penguins will go head-to-head in a Horizon League clash at 8 p.m. ET on December 2 at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena. Neither the Panthers nor Youngstown State have been able to muster much offensive firepower in their final games, so let’s look at the defense to decide this.

It was close but no cigar for the Wisconsin-Milwaukee when they lost 61-57 to the Alcorn State Braves on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Penguins were already within considerable distance but were unable to close the gap last week when they fell 58-53 to the Purple Eagles of Niagara.

Wisconsin-Milwaukee is the top rated in this matchup, with an expected win rate of 4.5 points. Politely speaking, those who stick with them against the disparity have guts, as the team has let bettors down in their past five games.

Wisconsin-Milwaukee is currently 1-5 while Youngstown State is at 2-3. Two numbers to keep in mind before starting: The Panthers are 353rd worst in college basketball in terms of results, with an average of 9.3. Making matters worse for Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the Penguins entered the game with just 10.2 rotations per game, placing 26th in college basketball. Perhaps that strength will give Youngstown State the strength they need to beat the odds.
