Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
There’s a reason Wright State coach Scott Nagy has made defense and rebounding the pillars of his program.
Offense comes and goes. And teams have seldom won championships basing their fortunes on something so fickle.
That was apparent in a 67-53 Horizon League victory Saturday over winless Green Bay. Wright State started 3 of 18 from the field and finished the first half 11 of 35 (31.4%).
Normally strong from 3, even that was an adventure (1 of 8).
But the Raiders had a 23-21 lead because the defense never waned. The visitors struggled for open looks and went 9 of 31 (29%) in the first half and 23 of 60 (38.3%) for the day.
“I was proud of our guys at halftime,” Nagy said. “Offensively, we were playing about as bad as we could play, and we were ahead by two. I told them, ‘That’s something to feel good about.’
