DDN: Raiders go cold, fall to Panthers on the road

Coach Nagy on sidelines

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Wright State was looking for its first road sweep of the Horizon League’s two Wisconsin teams since 2012-13 — and it certainly seemed doable after starting the quest with a rout of Green Bay on Wednesday and needing only a win over lowly Milwaukee two days later.

But turning in one of the worst offensive performances in six years under coach Scott Nagy, the Raiders let a 10-point second-half lead slip away and fell, 60-57.

They went 20 of 69 from the field (29%) and 7 of 26 on 3-pointers (26.9%). They fell to 15-11 overall and 12-5 in the league while getting their four-game winning streak snapped.

Grant Basile, playing in his home state, went 4 of 17 from the floor, finishing with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

Tanner Holden, averaging 20.6 points, scored just eight on 4-of-16 shooting. He did grab a season-high 15 rebounds before fouling out with 17 seconds left.
