In what has been one of the great years for Wright State basketball, the men's and the women's team will compete for a chance at a NCAA tournament berth tonight.
The women's team was able to reach the championship game by defeating the #2 seed 60-52. The Lady Raiders had a huge winning streak during the season and looks like they have all the tools to reach the tournament. They will be taking on the top seed today (noon).
The men defeated Wisconsin-Milwaukee as Loundon Love led the Raiders along with Grant Benzinger (son of Former Cincinnati Red Grant Benzinger).
That duo has been unstoppable, and the writers will face Cleveland State, who was in 8th seed. The Vikings have Evan Claiborne, the former Dunbar Wolverine who will be playing in the game.
This has to be an exciting time for Raider Nation, as Wright State could potentially have both teams in the tournament, and legitimately so, as both teams have heck of a season.
The men's team have set a record for most wins (24), and the women's team for the winning streak that they had during the season.
Both teams are well-coached (Merriweather & Nagy) and this shows that Athletic Director Bob Grant knows exactly what he's doing.
Could this be the year of the Raiders in the Horizon League?
Don't be suprised. Tune in today!
