GONE STREAKING
Wright State has won five straight games entering Sunday, its longest streak since a a six-game winning streak in February and March 2022 to close the regular season, win the Horizon League tournament and NCAA First Four game.

OAKLAND ORIGINALS
Wright State and Oakland have met 34 times, with the Raiders leading the series 22-12. The teams first met back on Nov. 29, 1977 – a Raider victory – and the teams also met in Jan. 1979 and Dec. 1979 but then didn't face each other again until Dec. 2000. Wright State also handed Oakland a loss in the Golden Grizzlies' first-ever Horizon League contest, played Jan. 2, 2014 inside the Nutter Center. The Raiders won 88-73 at home on Dec. 29 in the first meeting, with Solomon Callaghan connecting on a career-best six three-pointers on his way to a 20-point night, while TJ Burch finished with 17 points and had six steals.

GOLDEN GRIZZLIES
- Oakland is 9-8 overall with a 5-1 mark in the Horizon League, coming off a 25-point Friday win over Cleveland State. Oakland is now 5-0 at home.
- Oakland has won three in a row since losing at Wright State on Dec. 29. Brody Robinson had 27 points, Tuburu Naivalurua scored 18 and Michael Houge finished with a 13-point, 12-rebound double-double for Oakland in the first meeting against the Raiders.

LAST TIME WE WERE IN THE BUILDING. . .
Wright State connected on a program-record 16 three-pointers the last time the Raiders faced Oakland at the OU Credit Union O'rena back on December 5, 2024. Five different Raiders connected on multiple triples on the way to the 16 total, including a then-career-best four from Solomon Callaghan and a pair from Logan Woods.

FREE THROW FRENZY
Wright State's final line at the free throw stripe at Detroit Mercy on Friday – 23-of-28 – marked the Raiders' most field goals made and attempted since going 26-of-34 in a 30-point win at Robert Morris in Feb. 2024. The Raiders were also 32-of-38 at the stripe earlier that season in Jan. 2024 at Cleveland State, albeit that game was an overtime win.
