Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
When Milwaukee ended a high-scoring first half with six unanswered points, including a tip-dunk at the buzzer, Wright State coach Scott Nagy was so upset that he started his halftime diatribe even before reaching the locker room.
He barked at players as they trotted past him and really let loose about their defensive effort once they were behind closed doors.
“He was hot at halftime,” freshman Tanner Holden said with a shake of his head.
Senior Bill Wampler agreed: “He said we can’t rely on our offense. We’ve seen that this year. It’s been pretty inconsistent.”
The Raiders shot 64.3 percent but led only 52-46 because the lightly regarded Panthers shot 53.1.
“I can’t tell you how bothered I am by that,” Nagy said. “I’m extremely annoyed by the pattern we have in the first half of getting teams down and letting them back in it.”
Coming up: The Raiders will get rare national exposure when they visit Oakland (6-8) at 7 p.m. Friday in an ESPNU game. They’ll play three straight on the road after that against Detroit, IUPUI and UIC.
