Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy wanted to put Bethel University on the schedule after a grueling stretch of games to give his players a chance to cut loose.
For most of the first half, though, the Pilots were the ones having a stress-free night.
The NAIA team from Mishawaka, Ind., jumped ahead, 20-16, and didn’t give up the lead until A.J. Braun scored inside with six minutes to go before halftime.
The Raiders led just 40-37 at the break.
“You could sense it from our team the entire game. Our emotions were not very good,” Nagy said.
“Our starters were flat. It was an opportunity for your bench guys to come in and give you energy, and they didn’t, either.”
