DAYTON, Ohio - It was a tough night for the Green Bay men's basketball team in Dayton, as the Phoenix fell to the Wright State Raiders 77-46.
The Phoenix (2-21, 1-11) was led by Cade Meyer, who nearly finished with a double-double (10 points and nine rebounds) and Randy Tucker who also tacked on 10 points. Clarence Cummings III added eight points and six rebounds on the night.
HOW IT HAPPENED
A Tucker jumper opened the game's scoring, but unfortunately that 2-0 lead was the last one the Phoenix would hold all night. The Raiders responded to Tucker's bucket with a 17-2 run in the games first seven minutes, and never looked back, eventually taking a 41-16 lead into halftime.
Wright State kept widening its lead after intermission, constructing a 77-37 advantage before Green Bay finished the game on a 9-0 run, finished off by a Cummings three, to shrink the deficit to 77-46. Green Bay shot well from three-point range in the half, hitting six of 14 shots from deep to score 18 of its 30 points.
