Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Wright State coach Scott Nagy emphasized after beating Cleveland State on Thursday that good offense and bad defense isn’t a recipe for success.
But maybe superior offense and spotty defense is enough to get by.
The Raiders shot 66.1% from the field and scored their most points against a Division-I foe in four years in handing Purdue Fort Wayne its first Horizon League loss with a 106-98 victory Saturday afternoon.
They took an 11-point halftime edge, built it to 23 points with 8:34 to go and still led 101-86 with 1:30 left before a late PFW charge.
They notched their first road win after starting 0-5 and are 8-8 overall and 3-2 in the league.
“To win a college basketball game, there’s always something you have to overcome. It’s not going to be easy. Things flowed pretty smoothly for us for the first 35 minutes. Then, we got a little squirrely with the ball,” Nagy said on his post-game radio show.
