About Miami: The RedHawks are riding a three-game losing streak and haven’t won since beating James Madison 76-58 in Oxford on Nov. 24. … Miami leads this series 17-10, but is 0-2 against the Raiders under Billy Donlon, losing 51-49 last season and 66-51 in 2010-11. … Roberts is shooting 87.2 percent (41 of 47) from the foul line. … MU is 3-0 this year when scoring at least 70 points, 0-5 when it doesn’t. … Miami has been outscored 258-220 in the first half and 324-291 after intermission this year. … The RedHawks are facing back-to-back Horizon League opponents in Wright State and Illinois Chicago (at home Saturday at 1:30 p.m.).
About Wright State: The Raiders are coming off a 63-57 victory at Hofstra last Saturday and have won three of their last four games. … This is WSU’s best start since winning eight of its first 11 games in 2007-08. … Griffin, who injured his ribs in the second half of Saturday’s 63-57 victory at Hofstra, will be a game-time decision, Donlon said. Wright State has four regulars shooting better than 50 percent from the floor: Darling (57.4), J.T. Yoho (56.9), Griffin (52.4) and Vest (51.8). … The Raiders are 0-2 against the Mid-American Conference this season, losing to Central Michigan (59-55) and Bowling Green (54-41). …
Cooper on Wright State: “They’re more of a halfcourt team. You’re going to have to defend and be tough and rebound. They don’t beat themselves. They’ve got guys that play within their roles.”
Donlon on Miami: “They’re getting better with the new system with every game. You can see it. They’ve had a lot of time off to tweak and get better and improve. … They press you. They play fast. They spread you out and try to drive and shoot 3s. It’ll be quite a test.”
