Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy didn’t need to worry whether his players might be looking to pad their scoring averages against Division-II Urbana on Wednesday.
If anything, they were a little too pass-happy for Nagy’s tastes.
“There were probably some shots we should have taken that we passed up. Sometimes, it leads to turnovers when you over-pass the ball,” he said.

“But we played a lot of people, and we didn’t have one guy who took double-figure attempts. I thought our guys did a good job of really putting their teammates first.”
Wright State had 21 assists on 33 baskets and shot 55 percent in an 88-51 victory. Reserve center Grant Basile had 19 points, six rebounds and two blocks in 17 minutes, while Cole Gentry had 13 points and Loudon Love 12.
Eleven players scored, and nobody played more than 26 minutes. But that was probably the team’s last chance for a laugher, at least for a while.
With the Blue Knights out of the way, there’s nothing but quality non-league opponents the rest of the way, beginning with the Gulf Coast Showcase on Monday.
“The guys know every game we play from here on out can go either way,” Nagy said. “I was thinking about it today driving in — we probably have the toughest home non-conference schedule I’ve ever coached against.”
