The Wright State men's basketball team remains at home inside the Nutter Center this weekend as the Raiders welcome Detroit Mercy to town on Thursday night and Horizon League leader Oakland for a Saturday night matchup.
Fans can follow the action several ways - via live stats, by watching on ESPN+ or by tuning in on the radio. Chris Collins and Jim Brown will have all the play-by-play on both the radio and ESPN feeds for the contests.

Thursday night will feature a postgame shoot around on the floor while Saturday's game will be Military Appreciation Night with the Raiders wearing their camo uniforms and a t-shirt giveaway.
Tanner Holden led Wright State with 24 points and a game-high eight rebounds last Friday night against Cleveland State while Trey Calvin added 21 points, six rebounds and three assists as the only two Raiders in double figures in the 71-67 loss. AJ Braun tallied six first half points and added seven rebounds as Andrew Welage also chipped in six points. Grant Basile finished with five points, all in the second half, and a game-high five steals as Tim Finke also had five points.
Braun's layup on the first possession gave Wright State a lead it never relinquished as the Raiders dispatched visiting Purdue Fort Wayne 75-63 on Sunday afternoon. Holden finished with a game-high 23 points on 10-of-14 shooting, evenly splitting his production with 12 points in the first 20 minutes before an 11-point second half. Basile finished with 21 points, 16 of which came in the second half, while Calvin added 12 points as the third Raider in double digits. Finke chipped in seven points, while Welage and Braun were also on the first half scoring column, adding five and four points, respectively.
The Raiders begin the week 12-10 overall with a 9-4 Horizon League mark, while Detroit Mercy is currently 8-10 with a 5-3 League record. Oakland begins the week with a 16-5 overall record and a 9-1 Horizon League record and play at Northern Kentucky Thursday night before the Saturday meeting inside the Nutter Center.
