Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Two victories in a row against quality opposition has created a palpable sense of optimism around Wright State.
After starting the season 4-8 against Division-I foes, the Raiders picked up a comfortable home win over Cleveland State, which was picked fourth in the Horizon League preseason poll, and dismantled first-place Purdue Fort Wayne offensively on the road by a hard-to-believe score of 106-98.
But that doesn’t mean Scott Nagy is worryfree going into a two-game road trip against Robert Morris on Wednesday and Youngstown State on Friday.
The ever-vigilant coach is addressing another issue this week to make sure his team stays on track: complacency.
Asked whether he sees an upsurge in confidence, Nagy said: “I think there’s a better feeling. But I was saying to Clint (assistant Clint Sargeant), ‘The natural tendency is to take a deep breath. But I know if you do that, you’re going to get whipped.’”
The Raiders, who played a taxing non-league schedule, are 8-8 overall and 3-2 in the league, while the other 10 HL teams all have at least one conference loss.
