Game Preview
A non conference matchup is in place as the Davidson Wildcats (1-0) will battle against the Wright State Raiders (0-0) on Wednesday night. Davidson had a solid last season in 2021-22, going 27-7 and achieving its 15th NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. Wright State is also coming off an incredibly strong campaign. The Raiders won the Horizon League and secured their first tournament win in school history. Tip-off from the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio is set to start at 7pm ET.
Davidson already picked up their first victory in their season opener. The Wildcats came out with confidence and played good team basketball with the result being a 87-64 win over Guilford. They were able to force their style of play on top of Guilford and get great looks in the paint at the rim. Davidson shot 45% from the field and splashed down 15 3 pointers. This group was able to rotate the ball around and had five players finish in double figures.
Senior guard Foster Loyer captained the way in Monday’s victory. Loyer has a smooth and quick shooting form at the perimeter, which is quite deadly. The Michigan native recorded 30 points, 3 assists, and 4 steals. Junior forward David Skogman is a nice spark of energy from the bench, Skogram is rapid and nimble, adding 12 points and five boards in the win coming off the bench.
Wright State has played fairly well in season openers in recent history. The Raiders have won 14 of their last 22 season openers. This group won the Horizon League in 2021 and has nine players returning from that squad. Senior guard Trey Calvin is the main scorer back on the floor for the Raiders. Calvin is quick and aggressive when he’s downhill with nice shooting form.
The Illinois native averaged 14.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and shot 38% from downtown last season. Senior guard Amari Davis, a transfer from Missouri, will play a big role on this unit. Davis averaged nine points per game in 2021 but scored in double figures in 14 games. The Ohio native is fast and decisive in space with a plan to score.
It is a tough game to predict as both teams are looking like incredible squads, however we will roughly lean towards Wright State this time around. As winners of the Horizon League and hosts, they will have something to prove coming into this bout.
