Wright State coach Scott Nagy has talked repeatedly about the difficulty of the Horizon League’s schedule of playing back-to-back games each weekend, saying it’ll be tough for any team to win two in a row.

That may be true. But the way the Raiders manhandled Detroit on the road, they look as if they’re capable of rising to the challenge.

They shot 67% in the second half and 58.5 for the game — and went 10 of 20 on 3′s — in prevailing, 93-70, for their third straight blowout victory.

Sophomore point guard Trey Calvin notched a career-high 19 points to go with seven rebound and five assists, and classmate Tanner Holden had 19 points and six boards.

Grant Basile tallied 18 points, and Loudon Love had 14 points and nine rebounds.

Freshman point guard Alex Huibregtse came off the bench to chip in 11 points, seven more than he had scored all season.

Wright State trailed in rebounding, 19-10, early in the game but finished with a 40-32 edge.
