DDN: Wright State tops league-leading Milwaukee in OT

Trey Calvin roars

Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News

Wright State’s overtime game plan was simple. Get out of Trey Calvin’s way.

And Calvin, the Raiders’ point guard, delivered. With the Raiders spread out, Calvin went to work around the foul line and made four straight contested jump shots to lead the Raiders to 78-74 Horizon League victory at Milwaukee. He scored eight of Wright State’s nine points in OT.

The Raiders (11-8, 4-4) went 2-0 on their late-week trip to Wisconsin to stay on the edge of the league race. Milwaukee (12-6, 6-2) fell into a first-place tie with Northern Kentucky and Youngstown State.

“We got ourselves back in this deal tonight,” Raiders coach Scott Nagy said in postgame radio interview. “Obviously they feel pretty good about themselves. Now they’ve got to go home and start taking care of their home business.”

The Raiders are 3-1 on the road in league play and 1-3 at home. They play their next four games at home against Purdue Fort Wayne, Cleveland State, Milwaukee and Green Bay.

Calvin and Brandon Noel finished with 23 points apiece, and Noel, a redshirt freshman, missed a fifth straight double-double by one rebound.
