The Northern Kentucky Norse and Wright State Raiders meet at Corteva Coliseum at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in this Horizon League championship game. An automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament is on the line, too. NKU is looking to make the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in school history and for the first time since 2023. Wright State has made 4 previous trips to the NCAA Tournament and the Raiders haven’t danced since 2022. Wright State was also the Division II national champion back in 1983.

Wright State won both of the meetings in the regulation season, while also covering each of the matchups. More importantly, Wright State averaged 90.0 points per game while allowing 85.5. The Over cashed in each of those games, and it hit rather easily. The Over has cashed in 11 consecutive meetings since the last Under occurred on Jan. 25, 2022. NKU has rolled up big points in this tournament, too, averaging 90.5 ppg — and it has gone for 81 or more points in 4 in a row while allowing 76 or more points in 3 straight. For Wright State, it cashed Under against Cleveland State in the tournament game on March 4 — but the Over/Under is 3-3 in the past 6 and, again, the long Over run in this series might wash all of that away. Go high, and feel confident in doing so.
