The No. 4-seeded Raiders (20-13) jumped out to a 22-10 lead early and always had an answer for each run from top-seeded Cleveland State (20-10) throughout the night. Wright State led by 10 at the half and began the second half on a 7-0 run.

Grant Basile finished with a game-high 27 points on the way to his 11th double-double of the season with his 11 boards, while Tanner Holden also tallied a double-double with his 12 points and 10 rebounds, including eight points in the second half.  Tim Finke tallied 12 points of his own, adding seven rebounds, while Norris notched a career-high 10 points behind a trio of three-pointers.
 
Wright State shot 49 percent (25-of-51) from the floor overall while connecting on nine of 18 three-pointers. Defensively, the Raiders held Cleveland State to just a 3-of-20 mark from deep and 40 percent (25-of-63) from the floor overall. Wright State won the rebound battle 36-32, pulling down 26 defensive boards to Cleveland State's 16.
