Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Even though defense has been a season-long issue, Wright State’s offense wasn’t up to its usual high standards at Green Bay — at least when it mattered most.
The host Phoenix, picked last in the Horizon League preseason poll, went on a 14-0 run in crunch time to pull away for an 88-77 victory Friday afternoon.
Down 70-68, Marcus Hall scored inside to cap the flurry and make it 82-70 with 2:37 to go. The Phoenix shot 68% in the second half and 58% for the game.
After Brandon Noel’s layup with 7:30 to go, the Raiders didn’t score again until Tanner Holden’s basket with 2:08 left.
They had seven misses, two turnovers and two missed free throws in that span.
“Like I told the guys after the game, for seven years, for the most part, we’ve been whipping people. We’ve had the upper hand with Green Bay, and they were just tired of it, and they did something about it,” coach Scott Nagy said on his postgame radio show.
