DDN: Wright State goes on roll again, blows out Robert Morris on road

Tanner Holden

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Wright State finished third in the nation in field-goal shooting last year at 49.6%, which is pretty exclusive company. But coach Scott Nagy expected his team to do even better this season.

He figured the addition of Tanner Holden, who never seems to take a bad shot, would have a major impact, and that the returnees would all improve.

He was right.

Going into a game at Robert Morris leading the country at 53.7%, the Raiders shot 71.9% in the first half to build a 21-point lead and hit 60.7% overall in a 101-76 victory Wednesday.

They went 12 of 20 on 3′s for a season-best 60%.

They’ve won three straight games for the first time this season and have improved to 9-8 overall and 4-2 in the Horizon League.
