Current Records: Green Bay 4-20; Wisconsin-Milwaukee 8-18
What to Know
The Green Bay Phoenix haven't won a contest against the Wisconsin-Milwaukee Panthers since Feb. 15 of 2020, but they'll be looking to end the drought Sunday. Green Bay and Wisconsin-Milwaukee will face off in a Horizon League battle at 2 p.m. ET at UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena. The Panthers will be strutting in after a win while the Phoenix will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Green Bay came up short against the Northern Kentucky Norse this past Friday, falling 71-62.
Meanwhile, the Wright State Raiders typically have all the answers at home, but this past Friday Wisconsin-Milwaukee proved too difficult a challenge. Wisconsin-Milwaukee sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 60-57 victory.
Green Bay is expected to lose this next one by 5.5. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the squad has let down bettors in their past four games.
The Phoenix are now 4-20 while the Panthers sit at 8-18. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Green Bay is stumbling into the game with the 30th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 11 on average. Wisconsin-Milwaukees have had an even harder time: they are third worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.1 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
