Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State has won seven straight Horizon League games and keeps climbing up the NET rankings, putting itself in some pretty heady company.
But while the Raiders’ 15-4 record is impressive, it could be even better considering two of the losses were by two points to Youngstown State and Cleveland State and a third, at Oakland, was winnable. The Raiders were up nine in the second half before falling by 10.
But as far as coach Scott Nagy is concerned, he wants his team to zero in on what’s ahead and allow fans to contemplate what might have been.
“It’d be nice if we were (18-1), but we’re not. You are what you are,” he said.
“It’s been such a strange year with our wins. We’ve got 15 wins, and the closest one is nine points. We’ve been crushing teams. The reason we’re doing it is because we’ve been good on both ends.”
The Raiders certainly exceled on offense and defense once again at UIC over the weekend, winning by 25 and 20.
Their average scoring margin this season of 17.4 points is fifth in the country. They’re 11th in defensive efficiency, giving up 0.868 points per possession, and 16th in offensive efficiency with an average of 1.105 points each time they have the ball.
