Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
A 90-72 win over UIC on Thursday night put Wright State back at .500 for the first time since the opening week of the season.
Tanner Holden led three Raiders (7-7) who scored in double digits as they ran their winning streak to five games and improved to 4-1 in the Horizon League.
Here are five things to know about the game:
- Wright State shot 59.6 percent from the floor.
- All Scott Nagy wanted to talk about after the game was defense.
- The Raiders coach was happy they started the second half better than they had in close wins last weekend over Milwaukee and Green Bay.
- UIC was missing three players.
- The Raiders are scheduled to play again Saturday.
Nagy said they still expect to host IUPUI at 2 p.m. Saturday despite the Jaguars’ game at Northern Kentucky on Thursday night being canceled due to COVID-19 implications within both programs.
“It does make it hard to prepare, but everybody has the same thing. This is an odd, strange deal. We all know it has been the past two years, but the teams that handle it the best, that just deal with it and don’t use it as an excuse will do better.”
