Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
By Tom Archdeacon
So many things didn’t look like you remembered them Saturday night at the Nutter Center.
- Wright State came into the game with Oakland with the No. 6 rated offense in Division I basketball. The Raiders averaged 86 points per game, but scored their lowest point total of the season and lost 74-60 to the Golden Grizzlies.
- WSU was rated No. 1 in the nation in field goal percentage, making 53.8 percent of its shots on the year. Against Oakland, the Raiders hit just 23 of 68 attempts for 33.8 percent.
- More woeful was their marksmanship from long range. They were ranked No. 14 in the nation in three-point field goal percentage at 38.3 percent, but went 5-for-28 for a miserable 17.8 percent.
- Trey Calvin, who has scored 2,026 career points at WSU and is second in the league in scoring this season (19.6), was making 43.4 percent of his three-point attempts this season. Against Oakland, he went 0-7 and that prompted fellow guard Alex Huibregtse to say afterward: “I’d put a lot of money down that Trey Calvin will NEVER shoot 0-for-7 again from three.”
- Saturday was shaping up to produce a milestone moment for Tanner Holden, who, like Calvin, will one day be a WSU Hall of Famer. He was 16 points away from topping 2,000 career points when you combined his totals from WSU and his one-year foray at Ohio State last season (which produced just 97 points.)
With 2:36 left in the game, Holden — who had scored 15 points on the night and leads the Horizon League in field goal accuracy — went in for layup.
