Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
The Horizon League schedule of playing back-to-back games on a weekend is physically taxing for the players.
And it’s not exactly easy on the coaches, either.
Wright State’s Scott Nagy went through anguish after a two-point home loss to Youngstown State on Friday and wasn’t able to fully recover until a bounce-back victory Saturday.
“I can tell you, I didn’t sleep last night — at least not well,” he said after the 93-55 victory. “I just tossed and turned and was bothered by so many things.”
The Raiders split a pair of games the previous weekend at Oakland, winning by 39 and then losing by 10. Somehow, that was more palatable to Nagy than ending the weekend with a clunker.
“It’s odd,” he said. “Last week, we win by 39 and then lose, and it’s a terrible week because we’re coming off a loss. This week, it’s lose-win, and now we feel great, and it’s the same result: 1-1.
“If we can just get balanced out, play hard and be consistent, we’ll see what our team can do.”
