Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy chastised himself after Friday’s game against Robert Morris about his sideline demeanor.
When the teams met again the next day, he was committed to being as mellow as Jimmy Buffett.
“When I get uptight — and for whatever reason, the whole weekend, I was uptight — I’m not a very good coach,” he said. “I think I made our team uptight. I’ve been frustrated with our Friday games at home, and I probably didn’t help things by the way I was all week and the way I reacted.
“I got myself relaxed and in a better frame of mind (Saturday). And our team relaxed.”
No one benefitted more from a dialed-down Nagy than Loudon Love. The fifth-year senior center torched the Colonials with a career-high 34 points on 15-of-22 shooting in an 86-56 win. He also snagged 11 rebounds.
That’s the most points by a Raider since Mark Alstork scored 39 against Toledo on Nov. 19, 2016. The school record is 45 by Bill Edwards against Morehead State on Dec. 8, 1992.
