Was thinking about migrating given the chaos, so we’re doing it now! I don’t know if I’ll fully leave X, but I plan to be on here as well. As always, I cover Wright State athletics for HoriZone Roundtable, good to meet you all again!

IU Indy came out hot, but Wright State, fueled by Jack Doumbia coming near a triple-double, overcame the early deficit to advance to the next round of the #HLMBB Tournament. James Moon has the story.
Doumbia’s Near Triple Double Helps Wright State’s Season Continue
The Wright State men’s basketball used a big second half to pull off a 98-85 home win over the IU Indy Jaguars in the 1st Round of the 2025 Barbasol Horizon League Tournament. IU Indy wasted no time making an early statement as their hot shooting gave them a 24-9 lead in the opening 6:29 with five different Jaguars making threes: Paul Zilinskas, Sean Craig, Keenan Garner, Timaris Brown, and Ron Rutland III; followed by a three-point play from Garner which created the 15-point advantage for the visitors.

Overall pretty happy with this #HLWBB recap, got to get some quotes from Youngstown’s Coach Jackson for this article. Take a read!

Wright State - 98
IU Indy - 85
Final
Starting with a major deficit and facing down a seemingly invulnerable shooting attack, Wright State responded with three point shooting of its own and a relentless pursuit! 5 Raiders and Jaguars end the night with double digit points. WSU --> RMU

Second half underway, Keaton Norris makes a three!

Apparently this game is not the only game with the potential to score 100, Oakland and Northern Kentucky are both up by a BUNCH against Green Bay and UDM respectively. That means whoever wins this match inevitably gets Robert Morris for the next round.

Alright, we're just about to get started - IU Indy versus Wright State! These two teams split the series with IU Indy taking home the most recent match last weekend. This one's for the ticket to continue for the coveted March Madness bid, let's go!

Pregame Notes:
After winning three straight for the first time this season, the Raiders dropped the last two matches against #3 Cleveland State and #4 Robert Morris. In those matchups, Amaya Staton retained her double-double streak and was the focal point of the offense.

The stage is set for the first round of the #HLMBB tourney:

11. Green Bay at 6. Oakland
10. Detroit Mercy at 7. Northern Kentucky
9. IU Indy at 8. Wright State

I have no right to ask, but I hope @skyespeed.bsky.social covers this Oakland/Green Bay game
March 2, 2025 at 2:11 AM
So in #HLWBB UDM has lost the game against IU Indy, confirming Robert Morris as the 4 and UDM as the 5. This also means IU Indy has the advantage on the 6 seed. Northern Kentucky is also up on Oakland by a lot, so unless some things switch, Wright State is staring down at the 8.

Final game of the season for Wright State women’s basketball! A win (or loss) tonight will factor directly into the INCREDIBLY complicated seeding scenario for the tournament. Raiders have a chance to earn anywhere from the 6 to the 9 seed today. Staton’s final game as well!
March 1, 2025 at 6:51 PM
Wright State - 82
Cleveland State - 76
FINAL
A NAIL BITER of a win for the Raiders as they STORM back in the second half, outscoring the Vikings 51-31 to defend the Nutter Center on national TV! Noel and Huibregtse both finish with 20 PTs with Callaghan bringing in 14!
February 28, 2025 at 4:05 AM
Sorry I messed up BlueSky, Wright State has gotten within 4 of the Vikings as the Raiders come ALIVE from behind the arc! Callaghan, Noel, and two from Huibregtse bring them closer to calling this night theirs!
Cleveland State - 51
Wright State - 45
U16

Of note, not sure if it's been said: Wright State is solidly the 8 seed with the IU Indy loss tonight and the NKU win. A lot had to go right to move up a slot but it didn't happen. I believe IU Indy has the 9 slot solidly as well with the UDM loss as they own the tiebreaker.
February 28, 2025 at 3:06 AM
And we're off! Keaton Norris gets the ball to start
February 28, 2025 at 2:06 AM
Woooooooof
Cleveland State shuts down Wright State's three-point shooting for the first time in years, running away with a 35-point victory to improve to 23-7 overall and 14-5 in the Horizon League.
