Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State is going to need some help — maybe more than it can reasonably expect at this point — but its bid for a Horizon League regular-season title is still alive after a 96-75 road rout of first-place Oakland on Sunday.
The Raiders went on a 16-3 run in the first 5:44 of the second half — eight of them by Alex Huibregtse on a pair of 3′s and another jumper — to take a 53-41 lead, and they never looked back.
They led by as many as 26 while shooting 66.7% in the second half. They improved to 17-12 overall and moved into a tie for third in the league at 12-6.
They host Purdue Fort Wayne at 7 p.m. Wednesday and Northern Kentucky at 7 p.m. Saturday to close out the regular season.
“They hit some tough shots in the first half. We defended. Our defense was really good,” coach Scott Nagy said on his post-game radio show.
“We were down one, and our kids were discouraged. I said, ‘Hey, they hit tough shots. You live with that. Just keep defending like that.’”
