Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State plays two Horizon League teams with losing records on the road again this weekend, and coach Scott Nagy is doing what he can to make sure his players aren’t expecting an easy time.
The Raiders walloped Oakland to begin a two-game swing in Michigan last weekend — and then needed a near-miraculous rally to pull out a 70-69 win against lowly Detroit, scoring the game’s last seven points in the final 2:06.
As Nagy has often pointed out, playing in opposing arenas always adds to the degree of difficulty, and conference foes never allow themselves to think they’re overmatched no matter what the standings say.

“You’d better be prepared every night and not assume anything,” he said. “I had so many people after the Oakland game think the Detroit game would just be a walk-through, and that’s ridiculous. I don’t think that way. I don’t let my team think that way.
“There’s some human nature to it that you have to fight. I told them for 48 hours how difficult a game it’d be — and it was.”
Nagy is reminding his players they’ll never reach their long-term goals unless they address some notable weaknesses.
