Wright State By the Numbers: League defensive performances strong
The Wright State men’s basketball team won two games last week in part by allowing 63 points to UIC and 41 points to Loyola. That helped the Raiders improve on an already impressive defensive resume in Horizon League games.
In its 6-5 HL start (11-12 overall), WSU ranks first in the league in scoring defense, allowing 57.4 points per game. It was defense that got praise from coach Billy Donlon after Friday’s win against Loyola. The Raiders are also first in turnover margin and defensive rebound percentage.
Here’s how the Raiders rank in defensive categories in Horizon League games (in which schedule is all the same):
1 Scoring Defense (57.4)
1 Turnover Margin (plus-4.1)
1 Defensive Rebound Percentage (71.4)
3 Rebounding Defense (31.1)
3 Steals (7.3)
4 3-point Percentage Defense (30.1)
7 Field Goal Percentage Defense (43.1)
10 Blocked Shots (1.4)
