LAST TIME OUT
Four players tallied double-digit scoring afternoons, led by Michael Imariagbe's 24-point, 11-rebound double-double, as Wright State downed Northern Kentucky 88-80 on Saturday afternoon inside the Nutter Center. Imariagbe's 24 points were his most in a Raider uniform and just five shy of his career best as he notched his second double-double of the season. Michael Cooper tallied his fourth game with 20-plus points as he finished 21 points.

MILWAUKEE MATCHUP
Wright State and Milwaukee have met 76 times previously, with the Raiders holding a 40-36 lead over Milwaukee in the series, including wins in 10 of the last 16 meetings. The first meeting came back on Jan. 17, 1977 in Milwaukee, a 75-66 Panther win. The first Wright State home game was the following year - a 71-69 Raider win on Feb. 13, 1978. Wright State won the first meeting of the season back on January 1 behind Michael Imariagbe's game-high 17 points, Kellen Pickett notched his first collegiate double-double with 11 points and a career-best 10 rebounds while adding two blocks.

PANTHER POINTS
- Milwaukee is 9-13 overall with a 5-6 Horizon League mark, coming off a win last Saturday at Youngstown State that snapped a three-game losing streak.
