Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Close games haven’t worked out all that well for Wright State this season.
Overtime games (smaller sample size) have been lacking happy endings, too.
After giving Milwaukee fits on the road and forcing OT on an Alex Huibregtse 3-pointer with 9.5 seconds left, the gritty Raiders, desperate for a momentum-generating win, wobbled in the extra session and dropped an 88-80 decision Friday.
They’re 2-7 in games decided by four points or fewer this season. They’re 0-2 in overtime games, including a double-OT loss to Purdue Fort Wayne.
The Panthers scored the first eight points after regulation and were never threatened again in jumping to 17-9 overall and 10-5 in the Horizon League.
They went into the day as the HL’s highest-ranked team in the NET at 140th.
