DDN: Wright State shocks Louisville with buzzer beater

Trey Calvin

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Wright State’s Trey Calvin couldn’t come through on a couple of chances at a game-winning shot against Davidson in the season-opening double-overtime loss.

Put in the same position at Louisville on Saturday, the star guard delivered.

Calvin hit a fade-away jumper near the foul line at the buzzer for a 73-72 upset .

Wright State head coach Scott Nagy drew up the last sequence after the Raiders regained possession on a turnover with eight seconds to go.

“We had a pretty good mismatch with Brandon (Noel). He was killing that kid. But I’m like, ‘Down one, we’re going with Trey. Trey’s the guy. He’s the one that has to make a play for us,’ and he did,” Nagy said on his post-game radio show.

The Raiders trailed by 10 early in the second half, cut it to one, but fell behind by five again with three minutes to go when El Ellis hit back-to-back 3-pointers.

It was still five when Ellis, who had 29 points, scored at 1:32.
