Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

First they get mad, then they get even.

Wright State has looked bewildered and beatable on the first night of weekend back-to-back games, but the Horizon League favorites are overwhelming foes in the rematch.

They made three 3-pointers in the first 5:25, built a 21-point first-half lead and pounded visiting Robert Morris, 86-56, on Saturday.

They were pushed by the undermanned Colonials in a 79-70 victory Friday, winning the rebound battle by just one — far below their average rebound margin of +10 per game.

They asserted themselves on the glass in the second meeting, winning 44-28.

The Raiders are 2-2 on their last four Fridays, but they’re 4-0 with an average winning margin of 30.5 on their last four Saturdays.

Loudon Love, held below double figures for the first time this season with seven points Friday, tallied a career-high 34 on 15-of-22 shooting Saturday.
