FAIRBORN — After taking two days off from practice, Wright State's Horizon League championship basketball team went back to work Friday, most showing up at the Nutter Center in new shoes delivered from Nike, the team's outfitter.
The Raiders have enjoyed two days of campus adulation followed by black sneakers trimmed in green with a gold swoosh logo, all in gleaming patent leather.
"They weren't the shoes I would have picked," WSU coach Brad Brownell said. But he did like the way the Raiders practiced, using the Nutter Center instead of the Setzer Pavilion practice facility to keep the team used to playing in an arena.
Sunday, the Raiders find out who and where they will play in the first round of the NCAA tournament.
They'll play either Thursday or Friday.
