Match Analysis: Wofford Terriers vs Milwaukee Panthers – Prediction
Match Details
- Date: November 8, 2025
- Time: 7:00 PM UTC
- Location: Jerry Richardson Indoor Stadium, Spartanburg, SC
Game Overview
Milwaukee (1-0) is a slight favorite against Wofford (0-1) in a non-conference game. Milwaukee is coming off a high-scoring win, while Wofford was blown out in its opener. This is an early-season litmus test for both programs.
Key Factors to Consider
- Wisconsin-Milwaukee opened with a 90-86 win over Hampton, showing offensive firepower. Wofford, meanwhile, was demolished 70-46 by George Mason, raising serious questions about their scoring and defense. Milwaukee’s efficiency and ability to dominate the glass (Seth Hubbard cited as a key scorer) contrast with Wofford’s undersized, guard-heavy lineup, which could struggle with rebounding and interior defense[2][4]. Milwaukee has an edge in recent performance metrics (Pts For/Against differential: +4 vs. -24 for Wofford)[4].
- Milwaukee won the last meeting 76-74, indicating a close contest, but they have a winning record head-to-head (7-5)[4][5]. This recent history suggests Milwaukee can handle Wofford’s style, but margins will likely be tight.
- No reported injuries for either side[6].
- No major external factors reported. Game is at Wofford’s home, but last season the Terriers were significantly worse ATS at home than on the road[1].
- Milwaukee seeks to build momentum after a convincing win; Wofford is desperate to bounce back from a humiliating loss and avoid an 0-2 start. Both teams are highly motivated, but Wofford’s confidence may be shaken.

Predicted Outcome
Milwaukee is better-coached and more talented in the frontcourt, with a clear edge in rebounding and recent form. Wofford’s lack of size and poor showing in game one are major red flags. Expect Milwaukee to control tempo and win a close, high-scoring game.
Predicted Score: Milwaukee 78, Wofford 71
