Wright State didn’t lead for most of the night on the road Thursday, but all that mattered was whether it was in front at the end — and the gritty Raiders were.

They overcame a 10-point deficit in the final 6:20 of regulation on the way to a 107-99 overtime victory at Cleveland State, out-scoring their hosts, 20-12, in the OT.

Junior guard Alex Huibregtse tallied 10 of his career-high 32 points in the extra session, finishing 10 of 14 from the field, 3 of 3 on 3′s and 9 of 9 on foul shots.

Fifth-year guard Trey Calvin contributed a huge four-point play (making a 3 and converting the free throw) and made six more foul shots in the OT on his way to 27 points.

The Raiders improved to 11-10 overall and 6-4 in the Horizon League while ending the Vikings’ 18-game home winning streak.

“Obviously, we’re super proud of Al. He just got it going,” coach Scott Nagy said on his post-game radio show.
