Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State has some massive games coming up, but coach Scott Nagy first had to make sure his players didn’t overlook lowly Detroit Mercy on the road Thursday — and they didn’t.
The Raiders were all business, at least in the second half. They connected at their usual high rate and shut down the Titans when it counted, rolling to a 93-78 victory.
They’re 16-12 overall and 11-6 in the Horizon League going into a game with first-place Oakland (19-10, 14-4) on Sunday afternoon.
Detroit fell to 1-28 and 1-17 and will tie the all-time NCAA record for losses in a season if it loses its last two regular-season games and falls in the first round of the league tourney.
“I’m proud of the guys. This is not an easy game — I don’t care what you say,” Nagy said on his postgame radio show.
“I think it helped us that it was a tighter game at our place, so we were more prepared. I continue to watch in amazement that they’ve only won one game. They’ve got two really good players who are hard to stop.”
