What to expect from Wright State tomorrow?
No great athletes on this team, they play good fundamental basketball. They have excelled at home defensively. They do struggle on the road as a lot of mid majors do. They do cause a lot of turnovers for the opposing team. Asked Kent State on their visit into the Nutter Center. They don't press full court, but they pack it in on D, daring the opposing team to shoot 3's. UT must shoot a very good pct. of 3's, it will be tough going inside against this team. Former toledo area high school player Parker Ernsthausen, 6-9 plays very good fundamental D inside and he gets a lot of help from his team mates when passes come to the paint. Top shooter is Grant Benzinger, 6-4 g-F, I believe is aug. 14 a game. Can shoot the 3 at above 40% clip, streak shooter, when he is hot, he is good as anyone that shoots the 3 in the nation. They do play 2 freshmen guards a lot, Winchester and Hall. Don't under estimate these good lucking recruits WSU has. Coach Nagy who came from South Dakota St (410 wins at that school, with 3 NCAA appearances in last 5 seasons at that school) is a very good coach.
This game maybe low scoring compare to what UT averages offensively. UT by 10, only because they are playing at home.

Adunfon, you are a no nothing goof ball
WSU moved from D2 to D1 in 1987 and twice in the last 30 years made the NCAAs, in 1993 and 2007.
We on the other hand are 0-37 in years and counting
I’ll take their record anytime

If I had a choice between good offense/bad defense and good defense/bad offense, I would choose the good offense/bad defense combo. At least it is exciting to watch. I don't enjoy low scoring, defensive games

I love defensive teams, one that presses full court, gets a lot of turnovers and score with a lot of lay ups and dunks.
