Wright State is the Horizon League regular season champion after they edged Northern Kentucky 64-62. The Raiders, who got 20 points and 14 rebounds from Loudon Love on Friday night, led the league from start to finish and win by two games over the Norse.
Speaking of Northern Kentucky, here is an excellent read on the latest evidence that there is no “kinder, gentler NCAA” – their decision regarding Norse star Tyler Sharpe. 11 minutes means losing an entire season, but four football games does not?

The bracket
Title game: March 10 in Indianapolis
The skinny: This has been a two-team race most of the year between Wright State and Northern Kentucky. Wright State completed the season sweep of the Norse with Friday’s two-point road win. The Raiders are the fifth-highest scoring team in Division I and have had the second-best defensive efficiency in conference play. That’s a pretty good combination at any time of year.

Can Wright State and Scott Nagy keep rising?

Scott Nagy has Wright State on the cusp of its second NCAA Tournament appearance in the last four years, which would be an unprecedented accomplishment for the Dayton, Ohio school with just three NCAA Tournament appearances in program history. Could Nagy, a former South Dakota State coach, parlay a strong finish with the Raiders into consideration for a high-major job? Don't rule it out if the Raiders can win the Horizon League tournament and get back to the Big Dance. The tournament begins Tuesday, but the No. 1 seed Raiders won't play until six days later as they enjoy a double-bye. If they make the NCAA Tournament, Palm has them projected to play cross-town neighbor Dayton in a first-round game.

INTERIM JOBS
2) Byron Rimm, IUPUI | Jason Gardner resigned just prior to the start of the school year following an arrest for OWI, and Rimm, whose background includes a head coaching stint from 2006-16 at Prairie View A&M, took over on an interim basis. The Jaguars are just 6-23 and 2-14 in the Horizon, and it’s almost a certainty that AD Roderick Perry makes a move.
