LAST TIME OUT
Wright State led for 36 minutes on Thursday night as four players finished with double-digit scoring nights, led by TJ Burch's career-high 24 points, as the Raiders ran their winning streak to seven games with a 93-83 victory over Youngstown State. Burch added five rebounds – also a new career-high – as Kellen Pickett tied a career-high of his own as he tallied 18 points and just missed another double-double with nine rebounds. Dominic Pangonis finished with 17 points, his most as a Raider, while Solomon Callaghan turned in 15 points.

GONE STREAKING
Wright State has won seven straight games for the first time since winning seven straight games from December 18-January 12 in the 2021-22 season, while they also won nine straight in January and February 2021 in the 2020-21 campaign. The Raiders' longest winning streak as a Division I program was 11 straight victories during the 2007-08 season.

PICKETT EARNS THIRD-STRAIGHT HL NOD
Kellen Pickett was named the Horizon League Freshman of the Week for the third consecutive week, the League office announced on Jan. 19. Pickett turned in his second-straight 18-point performance on Jan. 15 in Wright State's home win over Youngstown State. The 18 points, which tied his career-best set Jan. 11 at Oakland, came with nine rebounds as he just missed his third-straight double-double.

FAMILIAR FOES
Wright State has won 14 of the last 21 contests in the series overall, which is the longest series all-time in Raider history. The Raiders and Vikings have met 86 times previously, with Wright State coming away with 45 wins. The first-ever meeting came Feb. 12, 1972, a Cleveland State 72-62 win in Cleveland. The first matchup in Dayton came Jan. 21, 1974, a 69-45 Raider win (third meeting overall).

BELIEVE-LAND
- Cleveland State is 6-14 overall with a 2-7 Horizon League mark, coming off a home win Saturday over Youngstown State that snapped a four-game losing streak.
- Cleveland State is currently 0-9 in true road games, while they split two games in November at the Greenbrier Tip-Off, falling to Kent State before a win over Radford for their lone win outside of Cleveland.

NET NOTE
Wright State is currently 115th in the latest NET rankings that came out on January 20, its highest ranking in the NET since the 2020-21 team ended the first season of the NET at No. 75. (NET rankings started in the 2018-19 season).
