DDN: Calvin confident Raiders will get back on track

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Wright State’s Trey Calvin always seems to keep his cool on and off the court, and he’s not going to let a bumpy first month of the season change his demeanor.

The Raiders are 4-5 going into a home game against Western Kentucky on Tuesday. And after looking as if they’d turned a corner in beating Illinois State and IUPUI, they stumbled into old habits against Davidson and Bethel.

The word coach Scott Nagy has been pulling out repeatedly to describe his team is “soft.”

The Raiders are giving up 78.8 points per game, which is last in the Horizon League and 331st out of 351 teams nationally.

Opponents are shooting 47.9%, which puts them ninth in the HL and 333rd in Division I.

And while they’re on pace to set 30-year highs for the program in points per game (81.8) and field-goal shooting (50.8%), Nagy said: “We’re one of the top offensive teams in the country, and I still don’t feel like it’s very good.”
