Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State didn’t exactly find a long-term solution for its defensive woes. Not by a long shot.
But for a team that relies on their potent offense — and it was as easy on the eyes as usual against visiting Miami — the Raiders can at least take solace in knowing their defense showed up when they needed it most.
Nursing a three-point lead with about three minutes to go, Trey Calvin made two straight steals and forced another turnover in a 58-second span, leading to six straight points in a 92-82 win Tuesday.
Calvin scored on a floater, and Tanner Holden threw down two transition dunks in the flurry. And the youthful RedHawks (they play five freshmen and two sophomores in their 10-man rotation) couldn’t recover.
“We shot 68% and only won by 10. I mean, I don’t know if I’ve ever SEEN that,” coach Scott Nagy said, shaking his head. “That’s obviously a concern as a coach.
“Our defense still has so much work to do. But I thought when we needed to make some plays, we did late in the game. Trey made a couple steals to kind of the seal the thing.”
