We need to get out of this conference. The Comish wants teams to schedule two non DI games. I think Detroit and Oakland went away from his request. With our success last 2-3 years and future outlook. Most good DI programs won’t be looking to scheduling us. If MVC looks at adding us and NKU this conference will really be hurting. With our improvements with Women’s basketball and success at a Baseball we could better n better position to be asked to move up.

I think we have gotten a vote or two before. Maybe early 90s. |

Absolutely awesome new. With the budget issues Wright State has been dealing with the last few years I was concerned that we would have issues extending Coach Nagy's contract when it ran out. I'm super pumped we have already extended him and have increased the salaries of his assistants too. We have a top notch staff. I'd like to hang onto them as long as we can. |

Completely agree about Nagy. Glad we are trying to take care of him and the rest of the staff.

I wonder f they think there is a good chance Dozic will get another year eligibility, since he was not included in Senior night ceremony?

Potter was a good athlete but I think the team got better without him. I think he will shine at Moorehead. He is probably going to be one the better players they have had in a long time. On a team that don’t have as much talent as Wright State he will be the major cog for them.

hoopvision.substack.com/p/pace-space-and-high-stakes-hv-weeklyFinding the Wright Pace? By Matt Giles (@hudsongiles) // HV Weekly Contributor It’s rare that a Division I program undergoes a wholesale change in philosophy without a coaching change. In fact, that idea of instilling a new “philosophy” is often the reason why programs make a change in leadership. This season, amongst the handful of teams which have significantly restructured their tempo, only two have a positive adjusted efficiency margin. One is Alabama — yep, a coaching change — where Nate Oats brought in his emphasis on pace; his squads at Buffalo were consistently top-40 nationally in tempo. The other? A not-so-obvious answer: Wright State and four-year head coach Scott Nagy — whose attitude toward high-tempo basketball has historically been, well, the opposite of Oats’. In 2019, the Raiders used about 65 possessions per game — well below the DI average, and within the bottom third nationally of pace rankings (per kenpom). This season, WSU is using about six additional possessions per game, and takes less than 16 seconds to attempt a shot. It’s the fastest of any team for Nagy, who has been a head coach for 15 seasons (11 at South Dakota State, 4 at Wright State). Why the tweak? As Nagy recently explained to The Athletic’s Brian Bennett, the shift coincided with two offseason changes. One was the addition of key freshmen additions Trey Calvin and Tanner Holden, which has enabled the Raiders to use a pseudo-four guard lineup and space the floor more evenly than past squads (according to Hooplens.com, WSU scores 1.18 PPP when both are on the floor in Horizon League play, up from 1.10 PPP when either player is on the bench). The other factor was center Loudon Love losing sixty pounds: “We play with four guards most of the time, so this makes it easier to keep the pace and play like we want to play.” So far, the team has benefited from the ideological evolution: WSU has a record of 18-4 and not only leads the Horizon League, but looks primed to capture the conference’s NCAA tournament auto-bid. But what’s truly fascinating about Nagy’s embrace of playing in transition is that it doesn’t quite tell the whole story. Per Synergy, WSU is only scoring 0.99 points per fast break, which is down from the team’s rate (1.3ppp on the break) a year ago. But all those extra possessions add up, and the team is now scoring about 14 points in transition per 40 minutes, an astounding increase from the 7.6 transition points per 40 last season. That’s a massive change, and coupled with a few other tweaks to Nagy’s basketball ideology — the team gobbles 35 percent of its misses — Wright State could find itself as an intriguing Cinderella candidate come March.
