2. January 13: #312 Detroit 93, #74 Oakland 88 (3.4%) A week before this game, Oakland went to Valparaiso and won convincingly, improving to 4-0 in league play and positioning themselves as the favorite to win the Horizon League in a major early-season surprise. But things have changed a lot since then. It started with this debacle in which starting point guard Stevie Clark ended up in the doghouse in the first half, played just seven minutes, and Oakland blew a double-digit lead at home to a team that was previously 2-14. The Grizzlies enter February at 6-4 in the Horizon and their chances at a regular-season title are remote.

But I still have my eye on Wichita State, which trounced Illinois State on Saturday and is now ranked No. 17 on kenpom.com; Valparaiso, which is still alone in first place in the Horizon League; and New Mexico State, which is undefeated in the WAC and has lost just two games all season.My big weekend wrapup: The Big Game was kind of a letdown--Mid Major Madness
Valparais-NO!:
Valparaiso missed a golden opportunity to put some distance between itself and the rest of the Horizon field on Saturday, falling 86-69 at second-place Green Bay. Now, the Phoenix are just a half-game back of a Crusader team that probably should have gone to the NCAA Tournament last year. This country can’t afford to let Alec Peters miss the Big Dance again.

3. Watch out for the Wright State women’s team.
The Raiders are also in their first season under a new head coach, and Katrina Merriweather had WSU in first place in the Horizon League as of Monday afternoon.

Fairmont graduate Chelsea Welch leads Wright State in scoring at 17.9 points per game while Lexi Smith averages 13.5 points and nine rebounds.
At 142 in the RPI, they are going to have to win the league tournament to make the NCAA tournament.
4. The start of the Scott Nagy era hasn’t been as smooth.
Wright State’s men’s team is in the middle of the pack in the Horizon League at 6-5 (15-9 overall).
With a 125 RPI, the Raiders are going to have to win the league tournament to go to the Big Dance, but we know they’re at least adept at making it that far.
