Oakland is coming into this game with a 3-4 record this season and they are 1-0 in the conference. They have won their last 2 straight games after losing 4 straight and they are coming off of a win against Wright State in their last game, but they won that game by 2 points at home and it was a back and forth game all night. They are going on the road in this game for their 2nd conference game of the season and they actually won their last game on the road against Toledo, but prior to that win they had lost 3 straight games on the road and all 3 losses were by 10+ points. They are going up against a Youngstown State team that is 4-5 this season and they are also 1-0 in the conference. They did not have a good start to the season as they opened with a home game against a non-Division I team and then went on the road right after for 6 straight games, playing 4 road games and 2 in a neutral location in that span. They struggled in the tournament they played in, winning 1 of their 3 games, and that win came on the 1st day as they struggled to play 3 straight days. They have been much better since then though, winning their last 2 straight games now, and they are going to have some confidence as they are coming off of a 72-58 win on the road against Robert Morris in their last game. Youngstown State has a new head coach this season so they are still trying to find their identity as this was a team that went 14-6 in the conference last season, finishing 2nd, but this is a big game for them to make a statement in as they can take an early 2-0 lead in the conference and get back to .500 overall with a win here. This is also a game they are going to have circled on their schedule since Youngstown was 14-6 in the conference last season, finishing in 2nd place, but they lost both games they played against Oakland. Youngstown State will cover the spread in this game.
