LAST TIME OUT
Wright State saw four players finish with double figure scoring nights, led by a career-high 23 points from freshman Michael Cooper, as the Raiders cruised to an 86-58 Sunday victory over Green Bay in Horizon League action inside the Nutter Center.
Michael Cooper scored 15 of his new best 23 points in the second half as he finished the night 7-of-13 overall with a trio of three-pointers, filling his stat line with four rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block in just 25 minutes of action. Michael Imariagbe notched another double-digit scoring night of his own, shooting a perfect 7-of-7 from the floor on the way to 14 points, while Logan Woods had 13 points and Dominic Pangonis added 10 points and a game-high seven rebounds.

HOME SWEET HOME
Wright State has opened the season with seven of its first 11 games away from the Nutter Center, but that changes the rest of December, as the Raiders kick off a four-game homestand with the Miami (OH) matchup Tuesday night. The Raiders will play seven of their next 11 games at home through the end of January.

WE MEET AGAIN
Wright State is set to square off with Miami (OH) for the 41st time in program history on Tuesday, with the Raiders having won the last six meetings, including an 81-68 road win last November and a 92-82 victory inside the Nutter Center December 2024. The regional foes have squared off in 25 of the last 26 seasons, with the only outlier coming in the 2021 campaign, in a series that dates all the way back to December 1972.

MIAMI MINUTE
- Miami (OH) enters Tuesday undefeated at 10-0, including tallying six wins at home. The start includes wins over Division I opponents Old Dominion, Air Force, Mercyhurst, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, UNC Greensboro, Maine and UNC Asheville.
- Miami (OH) finished 2024-25 with a 15-1 record at home, with the lone blemish a 81-68 setback handed to them by Wright State on November 9.

HITTING FROM DEEP
The Raiders have already connected on double-digit three-pointers three times this season (14, Stetson / 13, Radford / 12, Marshall) after tallying 10-plus triples 10 times in 33 games a year ago. Wright State's 14 three-pointers in the Nov. 25 win at Stetson was just two triples shy of the program record 16 set last December at Oakland. The Raiders also hit 14 three-pointers last March against IU Indy in the Horizon League tournament first round.

TJ TURNS TO STEALING
TJ Burch's 30 steals are the 9th-most nationally through games on December 14, with his 3.00 steals/game average No. 7 nationally. Burch has multiple steals in eight of 10 games to date. Despite missing the Ohio Wesleyan game on Nov. 20, he has three games with five steals (against Radford and Kent State at the Greenbrier Tip-Off, Dec. 7 against Green Bay).

DOUBLE DIGIT KELLEN
Kellen Pickett scored in double figures for the second time in his young career on Dec. 13 at Marshall, finishing with 10 points, two off his career-best 12 from against Ohio Wesleyan. Pickett has scored in seven of his first 11 games, adding at least one rebound in 10 games.
