ESPNU
What a night for Bill Wampler, who scored a career-high 28 points off the bench in Wright State's fourth consecutive win, 81-77.
The victory pulled the Raiders even with NKU at 10-4 atop the Horizon League. The teams split the season series and each game was by four points.
Wampler was 10-of-14 from the field and his put back at the 1:15 mark put Wright State up for good.
Loudon Love is a really good post player and his 20 points and 11 rebounds were huge for the hosts, who trailed by as much as 16 points. Love was a big reason why Wright State picked up 38 points in the paint.
NKU went from 61% shooters (19-of-31) in the opening half to just 37% shooters (11-for-29) in the second and that was a big reason why Wright State was able to come back. Drew McDonald, who moved into third place on NKU's all-time scoring list, led the visitors with 23 points.

Game 448 - Cincinnati Christian women at Wright State
December 14 at Nutter Center in Fairborn, OH
espn3.com
I guess the good news for Cincinnati Christian was the game ended before 1 pm. Get on the bus, get back to Cincinnati as soon as you can.
Wright State did what a good mid-major, Division 1 team is supposed to do against an NAIA team: hold that NAIA team to 22% shooting and roll to a 99-36 victory.
Wright State (9-2) scored 37 consecutive points during the first and second quarters of this late-morning contest, turning a 6-5 lead into a 43-5 advantage after Kiana Adderton's lay-up at the 2:52 mark of the second quarter. During that run, Cincinnati Christian went a staggering 15 minutes without a field goal, missing 22 straight shots and committing eight of its 21 turnovers.
The teams have now played three times in as many seasons and the average margin in three victories for the Raiders is 50 points.
The hosts had five in double figures, but I was most impressed with sophomore guard Jalise Beck, who came off the bench to score a game-high 14 points and handed out six assists with no turnovers.

Game 233 - Wright State at Georgia State
November 30 at GSU Sports Arena in Atlanta, GA
Things haven't been pretty for Georgia State through its first six games, but after Wednesday's 81-74 win, I'm OK with a 4-2 record.
Horrifying ending in West Lafayette aside, not a bad 2 1/2 weeks.
Still, the Panthers need to address one big thing: what is going on in the paint?
Who can they depend on if senior center Willie Clayton can't stay out of foul trouble (and he doesn't appear to be able to)?
It isn't Jordan Session.
It isn't.....oh no. No, no, no!
Oh goodness, there isn't anyone else.
Yikes, can we talk about more pleasant things? Like the back court, which includes my favorite current Panther, Isaiah Williams. He was fantastic Wednesday, scoring 19 points on 6-of-8 shooting (3-of-4 from behind the arc) without a turnover. That's exactly what you're looking for from your lead guard.
Jeremy Hollowell isn't considered a guard - being 6-8 doesn't help - but he only gets four or five rebounds per game and he's best when scoring (22 points, 6-of-11 shooting Wednesday). If not able to find his shot, the second-year Panther is best when utilizing his above-average passing eye. That sounds like a guard to me and if we can consider Hollowell a tall 2, then Georgia State has to have one of the best 1-2 guard combinations in the Sun Belt Conference. I'd take a Williams-Hollowell back court over any other in the league.

Games 229-230: MABC Classic

(229) North Dakota vs. North Florida
Good win for North Florida, which got a Dallas Moore runner with 7.7 seconds left to hang on, 76-75 in the first game of the MABC Classic.
Moore, the reigning Atlantic Sun player of the year and UNF's all-time leading scorer, finished with a team-high 20 points for the Ospreys. That helped offset a fine night for another conference player of the year - Big Sky preseason POY Quentin Hooker, who poured in 29 points.
Hooker had given North Dakota a 75-74 lead when he scored the last of his points on a 1-of-2 trip to the free throw line with 18 seconds to go.
Geno Crandall finished the game with 13 points and five assists, but also four turnovers and the sophomore guard for North Dakota forced a shot he didn't really have along the baseline as time expired.
I like Crandall's game - he's quick with a nice mid-range jumper and seems to have the kind of crazy vision that all great point guards have. It was a disappointing end to my first time seeing Crandall and Hooker play, but I'll make sure and watch a couple more North Dakota games this year.
