Wright State Tops Green Bay 83-75 Behind Balanced Attack

Wright State's strong performance on the road propelled them to an 83-75 win over Green Bay at the Resch Center. The Raiders' victory was fueled by a well-rounded attack, with Kellen Pickett leading the charge. Pickett's impressive outing, which included 21 points and 8 rebounds, set the tone for Wright State's dominant performance.

The first half saw Wright State take control, with the Raiders scoring 38 points to Green Bay's 28. This 10-point lead would prove to be a decisive factor, as Wright State maintained their advantage throughout the game. Green Bay's C.J. O'Hara did his best to keep his team in the contest, scoring 21 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Raiders' balanced attack. Marcus Hall and Preston Ruedinger also contributed significantly for the Phoenix, with 18 points and 14 points, respectively, but their efforts were ultimately overshadowed by Wright State's depth.

Wright State's Solomon Callaghan and Dominic Pangonis also made significant contributions, scoring 15 and 12 points, respectively. The Raiders' ability to distribute the scoring load and capitalize on their opportunities was too much for Green Bay to handle. As the game progressed, Wright State continued to apply pressure, outscoring Green Bay 45-47 in the second half to secure the 8-point victory.

Before the game, CHD Scout predicted a Wright State win by 4.8 points, and the Raiders ultimately exceeded that margin, winning by 8. This victory serves as a reflection of Wright State's strength and depth, as they were able to take down a solid Green Bay team on the road. The outcome of this game was very much in line with expectations, as Wright State's superior net ranking and stronger overall record made them the favorites coming into the contest.

This win has real consequences for Wright State's tournament resume, as it marks a Quadrant 3 victory for the Raiders. With a current net ranking of 128, Wright State is firmly in the mix for a potential at-large bid. Meanwhile, the loss represents a Quadrant 3 defeat for Green Bay, which may hinder their own postseason aspirations. As the season enters its final stretch, Wright State want to build on this momentum and continue to bolster their tournament credentials. The Raiders' ability to secure wins against quality opponents like Green Bay matters in determining their fate come selection time.
