Need to get out to an early lead and keep our foot on the gas, and not let them back in the game like we did 2 weeks ago at Nutter.

Hopefully, this game will be a stepping stone to a positive attitude heading to the game on Sunday. If we can beat Oakland and Green Bay take down Youngstown State rd place is probable.

As long as Wright State secures a top-4 seed I do not see any difference or advantage between being 1,2,3, or 4 (aside from a regular season championship, which at this point is not probable).

It is all about the matchups. An ideal scenario in my opinion is WSU to be paired with GB. NKU be on the opposite side with YSU & Oakland."Ideal" matchups are certainly up for debate.

Typically terrible clock/game management at the end of the half. Gave Detroit an unnecessary possession and then blew our final possession by wasting the use or lose.

That's a 4 or 5 point swing.

It's every game. Just dumb decisions that never change. There is no reason to sit Woods. He was playing great and brings energy. But there he is, still sitting on the bench while the starters struggle against a bottom 3 school.

17 point run Raiders to lead by 16.

Our offense is lethal, and our defense is scared to touch the other team. Remember when Parker Ernsthausen’s only job was to take charges? lol

[hokieraider]

Good win, but still as painful and gut wrenching to watch as always. I love that once again the spark was Tanner blocking a dunk (along with Davis getting T'd up!)

Still don't understand why all the subs were on the floor the last 5 minutes of the first half. Went from an 11 point lead to a 2 point game, and let them right back in it. Please keep Wellage and Woods to about 8-10 minutes per game, Drey to about 5-8, and keep KK sitting next to Bo Myers until garbage time.

KK is our starting PG next year. He needs to be getting playing time now.

[hokieraider]

I hope he grows into being our starting point guard, but based on what I've seen this year, I doubt it. I don't think he will be able to wrestle much time from Keaton Norris. We're reaaaallllly going to miss Trey.

I doubt Norris will be wearing a Wright State uniform next season. KK was one of 2 true freshmen PGs we brought in this year. Both are 3 times more athletic that Norris and can actually play defense, which Norris cannot. I have never heard of a competitive player volunteering to redshirt during his 3rd season in a program if he wasn’t hurt.

I really think this season has been much harder on Nagy than our fan base because he really wants to hand his hat on his team’s defense and this team doesn’t play it worth a crap. With the big men we have returning and the big men we have coming in next years class, I really see Nagy turning the program around. I think he is going to completely change the focus next year into running a 1/2 court offense through our big men and try to control the tempo through good defense and great rebuilding. I don’t see Norris fitting in those plans.
