TEAM OF THE WEEK: WRIGHT STATE By Andy Katz Let's slowwwww down on all the Butler talk, because the Bulldogs aren't even in first place by themselves in the Horizon League. Nope. Brad Brownell, who had the Midas touch at UNC Wilmington, now has Wright State in first place in the Horizon. The Raiders took out Butler on Saturday and stand at 12-2 in the league, a half-game ahead of the Bulldogs (Butler is 11-2). Wright State (19-8) now at least needs to be in the conversation for an at-large bid. What happens if Wright State wins the Horizon? Should the Raiders get a bid, too? We know that Butler is basically a lock. Wright State finishes with three games: last-place Cleveland State, BracketBusters pairing Cal State Fullerton, and at fifth-place Youngstown State. Ninth-ranked Butler gets a free pass Tuesday in a nonconference game against transitional D-I Florida Gulf Coast, and then the schedule stiffens. The Bulldogs have a tough BracketBusters game against Southern Illinois, and then go to fourth-place Wisconsin-Green Bay and host Blake Schilb and third-place Loyola-Chicago and then Detroit (tied for fifth). So, it's highly plausible that Wright State could win the league. This is the same team that lost 73-42 at Butler on Jan. 6. sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2762640

To even be mentioned as a possible at large bid is good for the program. Good job coach Brownell. |

If you haven't done so yet, vote for WSU and DW. These polls are mentioned all of the time during sportscenter broadcasts. Any free publicity for WSU is a good thing, so vote and vote often.
