Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy is taking the program to new heights — exactly what the school hoped he’d do when it lured him away from South Dakota State with a hefty five-year, $2.5 million contract.
The Raiders, who are 24-6 overall and 14-2 in the Horizon League, can break their single-season records in 33 years in Division I for road and league wins and tie their mark for overall victories by beating Northern Kentucky on Friday.
They’re 8-3 in true road games. They went 8-7 in two of Nagy’s first three seasons and also finished 8-7 in 2012-13 when Billy Donlon was coach.
They’re best league record in 29 years of conference play is 14-4 in 2017-18. That’s the year they reached their all-time high in total victories, going 25-10.
They also can win their first outright conference crown by beating the Norse (21-8, 13-4).
“Certainly, we hope to do even more,” Nagy said. “But you have to give credit to our players and our coaching staff. You don’t win a lot of games without good players, and my assistants have brought in the kind of players we want to coach.”
