Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State picked up its third new player in the last week with the addition of Marist College grad transfer Aleksandar Dozic, a 6-foot-9 post who saw plenty of action for the Red Foxes but left in search of a winning program.
The native of Podgorica, Montenegro, averaged 7.0 points and 3.5 rebounds as a junior last season and 7.3 and 4.3 in 2017-18 (with a career high of 19 against The Citadel, including four 3’s). But the team stumbled to records of 12-19 and 6-25 in his two years there after transferring from Marshall.
“One of my biggest goals when I came for college basketball was to make it to March Madness. I definitely want to go there, and I wanted to go to a team that has the potential to do that. I think Wright State has a great chance to win the league next year,” he said.
In the last two years, the Raiders have won a regular-season league title and conference tournament and played in the NCAA tourney and NIT. That was big part of coach Scott Nagy’s selling point to Dozic, who will be eligible next season.
“I just liked his approach toward basketball and his goal to win — not just to win the conference, but in the tournament,” Dozic said. “I liked that seriousness and the professional mentality that I think we lacked at Marist.
“I’m tired of losing. I can see he’s not someone who’s into losing. He wants the best for his team, and I’m excited to play for him.”
