Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State is capable of having long stretches of horrid play — the kind that sends coach Scott Nagy into animated disgust while prowling the sidelines.
The Raiders had more turnovers (three) than buckets (two) in the opening six minutes Friday against visiting Milwaukee — picked 10th in the Horizon League preseason poll — and would have been happy just reaching mediocrity at that point.
But when they get their offense humming, and pair that with their usual miserly defense, they show just how big the gap is between them and the rest of the league.
After sputtering for most of the half, they scored 15 points in the final 3:43, getting 3′s from Gant Basile, Tim Finke and Jaylon Hall — the last just before the halftime buzzer for a 42-28 lead.
They never could put the Panthers away, but they weren’t really threatened after that on their way to a 92-81 victory.
“We were frustrated in the first half. Offensively, in the first 10 minutes, we weren’t very good,” Nagy said. “But I thought our guys did a great job of working through that.
“To be up by 14 was tremendous. I was really happy at halftime. That was the difference in the game. In the second half, we just traded blow for blow.”
