#143 Wright State at #128 Oakland (-4), 3 PM ET, ESPN2.
The
first meeting between these two in Dayton was never close, with Wright
State scoring 1.5 PPP in zone offense, which isn't aberrational, as the
Raiders have torched in zone offense all season (96th percentile
efficiency rating). The Raiders actually lost PG Michael Cooper to an
injury in that game, and he hasn't played since, but it hasn't mattered,
as they've simply traded his offense for more of TJ Burch's defense.
per EvanMiya on/off efficiency data
Worth
noting Oakland scored at a season low efficiency at the rim (.8 PPP) on
11/27 shooting. I wasn't a particular believer in Wright State's rim
defense through OOC play, but they've been the second best 2PT% defense
in the Horizon to date. I'm reluctant to think Kampe gets swept, and if
Cooper remains out, it's an offense for defense trade - but the Raiders
have clearly "figured out" the zone. - Jordan Majewski
