Wright State grabbed three blowout wins during a tour of Italy, and visited the Coliseum. It’s a fine venue as far as coliseums go, but one that pales in comparison to the Indiana Farmers Coliseum where the Raiders will attempt to get back to the NCAA Tournament in March.

For our final day in Rome and in Italy all together we stopped by the Coliseum! It has been an exciting trip and we are sad to go, but we are ready to be back home! 🇮🇹✈️🇺🇸#RaiderUP | #ForzaRaiders pic.twitter.com/nidJ6cpqra
