2026 Horizon League Tournament Odds
As far as the field goes, the Wright State Raiders earned the league’s No. 1 seed with a 15-5 conference record and enter as the tournament betting favorite at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook.
The Horizon League’s top seed has won back-to-back conference tournaments, with Robert Morris taking care of business in 2025 and Greg Kampe’s Oakland Grizzlies locking up an automatic bid in 2024 led by Jack Gohlke and Trey Townsend.
While this does bode well for Wright State, Robert Morris enters this one riding a seven-game winning streak and swept both regular-season matchups against the Raiders. The Colonials’ strong recent form and head-to-head resume against Wright State could spell trouble for the favorite.
Here’s a look into the full field for the 2026 Horizon League Championship:
