I hope this game will be a continuation of the Oakland game. The team has shown they have multiple offensive weapons. We need to have high percentage of assists. We are 5.5 point favorites. Would like to see double digit win and 5+ players in double digit . Hopefully there will be a big crowd for the game and give extra energy to the team.

Rebounding is going to be the most critical factor tonight for Wright State
There are going to be a lot of possessions in this game, both teams are top-35 in NCAA for tempo and offensive possession length.
Fort Wayne is all but assured to win the turnover battle and gain extra scoring opportunities as a result. Fort Wayne is elite in terms of turnover margin. They are 1 of 2 teams in the country to have only ONE GAME with a negative turnover margin all season. The other team? #1 Ranked Houston. On top of that, the only time FW was negative was Dec. 2 @ Oakland where they had a TO margin of -1.
Hence, the Raiders can not allow FW to get any additional opportunities on the offensive glass. Fortunately, this is where they are weak. Their -5.4 rebound margin is 329th in the NCAA, and they have the worst offensive rebound% in the Horizon League during conference play.
HUGE exciting night of Horizon League hoops, would be massive if WSU clinches a top-4 seed tonight. They will need help from the folks in Moon Township, PA

Fort Wayne goes +3 on the boards in the 1st half.
Raiders taking too many fadeaway shots, normally don't see that from this team.
Raiders turn it over 9 times in the first half, but forced 8. Only -1 in margin.
Holden picked up his 2nd foul around the 12 minutes mark. WSU was outscored 26-17 from that point forward.
Logan Woods plays good defense, but sadly this team gets so little from their bench.

Same problem for me. WSU is apparently up 3 now. Too bad I couldn't see it

Knew Trey was taking that final shot. Wish he was closer than 25 feet.
Overtime! C'mon Raiders!

Final posession so horrible. Can't set the first/only screen with 5 seconds.
A shot that has a 1-5% chance to go in

Another long 3 missed when down by 2 in overtime.
Down 2 with 17 seconds left.

For a team that shoots the ball so well WSU really struggles in lategame situations and plays off of timeouts.
Tough loss tonight.

Poor decision making by Trey the last 2 crucial possessions.

Would have loved to see us go to Alex or Tanner after seeing Trey struggle late. Sure, he could have hit the shot, but the writing was on the wall with all his missed shots leading up to that last possession.

We left 8-10 points off the board in missed layups, haven't seen the box score yet, but pretty sure we got outrebounded, and we seemed to lose most of the 50-50 balls. Frustrating loss.

Yep, outrebounded by 3. Fort Wayne grabbed 13 offensive rebounds to match their season high.
Raiders needed to win this battle and could not
