The Milwaukee Panthers finally host a home game tonight after a three game road trip where they lost each game. That puts them below .500 as a team with a 7-9 record. Yet, they showed fight in their last outing against Green Bay where they erased a twenty point deficit to take the lead in the second half. They have also won the last four matchups over Northern Kentucky, including both last season by double digits. Lay the short number here or even tail on the money line.

The Norse have won three straight and I like them to be very competitive against the depleted Panthers. Milwaukee has lost leading Seth Hubbard (16.6 ppg) and others to injuries, and enters on a three-game skid. Milwaukee ranks ninth of 11 teams in the Horizon League in field-goal percentage defense (47.4) and 10th in 3-point percentage allowed (35.8). Grab the points.
