Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy and his players didn’t exactly appreciate what Detroit Mercy and Antoine Davis did the last time the teams met.
It wasn’t so much that he torched them for 48 points. The nation’s second-leading scorer is going to have games like that. But what galled the Raiders was how the son of coach Mike Davis was still playing at the end of a 79-58 blowout win.

Nagy was clearly peeved on his post-game radio show, saying his team needed to use that for fuel in the rematch.
“Our kids better remember it, and we’d better make it right,” he said.
They did remember it.
And they did make it right.
Loudon Love had 17 points and eight rebounds, and Mark Hughes scored 12 on four 3-pointers to lead Wright State to an 83-60 Horizon League win before 5,045 fans at the Nutter Center on Saturday.
The Raiders (15-11, 9-4) held Davis, who was averaging 27.1, to a season-low 17 points on 7-of-18 shooting.
Asked after the game about the first meeting, Nagy chose his words carefully.
“People see that. They see it. It was pretty evident they left him out there trying to get 50. And whether he gets it or not, who cares? For us, with a lead like that, I’d be more concerned about people getting injured in garbage time.
“We took our medicine last time. Our kids were ready. Our guys played hard.”
