BACK AT HOME, FOR A MOMENT
Wright State stops back inside the Nutter Center for Thursday's matchup with Ohio Wesleyan before hitting the road for its next three contests. The Raiders will head to Florida to take on Stetson next week before a quick trip to take on former Horizon League foe Butler the day after Thanksgiving. Wright State opens HL play at Youngstown State on Dec. 3 before next returning home to host Green Bay on Dec. 7.

SERIES HISTORY: NONE
Ohio Wesleyan has been playing basketball since the 1905-06 season and sits just 74 miles from the Nutter Center, however, Thursday night will mark the first meeting all-time between the Ohio institutions. One of Ohio Wesleyan's most prominent alumni is Branch Rickey ('04), who integrated major league baseball while president and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers and is the namesake of the Battling Bishops' home court, Branch Rickey Arena.

BATTLING BISHOPS BULLET POINTS
- Ohio Wesleyan was 2-2 early in the year heading into a Wednesday game at Ohio Northern. Thursday's game against the Raiders will count as an exhibition for Ohio Wesleyan.
- Ohio Wesleyan finished 2024-25 with a 15-12 overall record and a 9-7 mark in the North Coast Athletic Conference, ending the year in the NCAC tournament semifinals. Ohio Wesleyan was a combined 7-8 in contests away from home last season. 

MIKE AND MIKE
Michael Cooper has began his collegiate career with five-straight double-digit scoring games - turning in a team-best 17 points at Cal and 17 points against Radford before tallying 19 points against Kent State. Michael Imariagbe opened the season with double-digit scoring performances in three of five games, leading the Raiders in scoring against Franklin (13pts) and Toledo (17pts). This start comes after he ended 2024-25 with three straight contests of 10-plus points, a streak that saw him tally double digits scoring in five of the last seven games overall last season. 

COOL CALLAGHAN
After missing the season opener against Franklin and then tallying back-to-back single digit scoring outputs against Cal and Toledo, Solomon Callaghan turned in a pair of double digit scoring games at the Greenbrier Tip-Off, scoring a game-high 20 points against Radford on Nov. 15 before 10 points against Kent State on Nov. 16.

TJ TURNS TO STEALING
Through Tuesday's games across the country, TJ Burch's 17 steals are the sixth-most nationally. Burch has multiple steals in four of five games to date, including back-to-back five steal contests against Radford and Kent State at the Greenbrier Tip-Off.
