Wright State is back on the floor tonight after the Raiders suffered their first Horizon League loss earlier this week.

Jay Morrison writes the first thing the Wright State players did as a team after having their eight-game winning streak snapped Saturday at Milwaukee was sit down and watch a horror flick.

“They gave us Sunday off and then we came in Monday and watched the game film, and it was definitely hard to watch because we knew we didn’t play well and we lacked energy,” freshman center Loudon Love said. “If you want to be great, you have to give energy and effort all the time. And watching yourself not do it is a hard feeling.”

Downtrodden Detroit Mercy will be the opposition tonight with Oakland visiting the Nutter Center on Sunday afternoon.

Wright State 69, Youngstown St. 59: Wright State hung on after squandering an 18-point lead to top the Penguins in Youngstown.

WSU (16-6, 7-3 Horizon League) led 39-23 at halftime, then by 18 three different times in the first five minutes of the second half before YSU started rallying. The Penguins went on a 15-2 run to climb to within five late in the third period and eventually took a 56-54 lead with 3:45 left in the fourth. Wright State regrouped and outscored the Penguins 15-3 down the stretch.

The Raiders forced 19 YSU turnovers, which led to a 23-7 scoring advantage in points off miscues.

Chelsea Welch had 23 points, five assists and four steals for WSU and Emily Vogelpohl had 19 points and 10 rebounds.
