Milwaukee is coming into this game with a 20-14 record this season and they are 12-8 in the conference. They have been playing very well in their recent games and were one of the hottest teams in the conference to end the regular season. They have won their last 6 straight as well as 8 of their last 9 games and they have been very good in this tournament as well. They have some impressive wins in their last 2 games of this tournament as they beat Green Bay by 11 points on the road and then followed up with a 7 point win against Northern Kentucky at the neutral location. They were trailing by 10+ points in the 1st half of that game against Northern Kentucky as well but they never stopped fighting and eventually erased that deficit in the 2nd half to go on and win the game. Now they are at a neutral location once again and they are going to get up for this game knowing that they secure the NCAA bid with a win here. They are going up against an Oakland team that is 22-11 this season and finished the regular season as the best team in the conference at 15-5. They have also been playing very well in their recent games as they have won their last 3 straight as well as 7 of their last 8 games. They have been a dominant team in the conference all season, but recently they have struggled a bit in this tournament. They opened the tournament with a 10 point win over Purdue Fort Wayne at home when they had home advantage but they struggled a lot more in their last game against Cleveland State which was at a neutral location. They were leading for most of the game but they had a big lead that they eventually dwindled away despite having multiple opportunities to put Cleveland State away, but in the end they only won by 3 points in a much closer game that went right to the end. Oakland showed their vulnerablities in that game as they were much weaker at the neutral location and this Milwaukee team has already had an impressive road win as well as a comeback win in this tournament. Milwaukee is also a team that gave Oakland fits this year as Oakland beat them at home by just 5 points and then won again on the road by 4 points in a game that went to double OT. Milwaukee is going to get up for this game as they need to win this game to get the NCAA bid but they have also given this Oakland team trouble in 2 different games this season and they are going to be hungry to get some revenge here and finally get them back at the neutral location when it matters the most. Milwaukee will cover the spread in this game.
