Oakland, meanwhile, is looking to rebound from a 64-57 loss at IU Indy on Wednesday despite 14 points from Layla Gold. Henson, a key player to watch for the visiting Raiders, is averaging 12.8 points over her last five games, including a 31-minute, 18-point performance in the win over Detroit. For the Golden Grizzlies, Gold has been a consistent contributor, scoring in double figures in five of her last eight contests and recording a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds in a Jan. 18 victory at Detroit. The season’s first meeting resulted in a 61-57 road victory for Oakland at Wright State on Dec. 3, 2025. Recent form has been a challenge for both programs. Prior to its win over Detroit, Wright State had dropped three of four. Oakland’s loss to IU Indy extended a difficult stretch where the Golden Grizzlies have lost five of their last six games.
