STRONGLY CONSIDERED FOR AWARDS
WRIGHT STATE -This Raider program headed North to take on the Michigan schools of the Horizon, Detroit Mercy, and Oakland. Always a difficult task. Detroit has sneakily been ripping off conference wins. But, this Raider team has found such a groove within terrific shot selection, three-point execution, and perimeter defense over the past month. They were able to pass both tests and show they belong at the top of the Horizon. Raiders raced out to a 41-14 lead in the opening 15 minutes in a joust for first place at Oakland, making 17 of their first 27 shots and storming to a 94-84 victory Sunday. Sitting now at 6-1 and commanding the Horizon— their best start since also going 6-1 in 2021-22 (that team finished fourth).
