2. One Wright State team might have underachieved while the other had a nice bounce-back season.

Much like Grant, Wright State coach Scott Nagy appears to have assembled one of the best rosters in his conference but did not win it.

The Raiders were picked to finish third and ended up tied for that spot, but they had a Horizon League Tournament quarterfinal win in their hands (literally) and let it slip away last week or Trey Calvin, Tanner Holden et al might be preparing for another NCAA Tournament trip themselves.

On the flip side, the Wright State women went 18-15, an encouraging mark after winning only 12 games in the first two seasons of Kari Hoffman’s tenure as head coach.

Where those Raiders go next will be interesting with some big holes to fill, but Hoffman has already shown she can use the transfer portal well.
