The Other Top 25: Way Too Early 2019-20 Edition
...
16. Wright State Raiders
2018-19: 21-14, NIT First Round
The regular season Horizon League champions return three double-digit scorers in Bill Wampler, Cole Gentry and Loudon Love — the latter being one of the best players in the Horizon League. Couple them with all-league defensive team selections in Parker Ernsthausen and Mark Hughes, and the Raiders look like the most well-rounded Horizon League team heading into 2019-20. Not only that, but Northern Kentucky — the team the Raiders only beat once in three attempts last season — loses Horizon League Player of the Year Drew McDonald, who gave Wright State fits all year long. The door is open for the Raiders to return to the NCAA Tournament.

25. Oakland Grizzlies
2018-19: 16-17, no postseason
Greg. Kampe. America’s favorite coach will once again have a competitive team in 2019-20 — maybe the best in the Horizon League, and college basketball is better for it. The Grizz picked it up at the end of this season, winning five of their last six, behind a few dominant performances from Xavier Hill-Mais. The big man was named first-team all-conference and finished the season with six double-doubles in his final 13 games. Oakland did not have any seniors last year that appeared in more than 10 games.
