COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Wright State men’s basketball team set a program record for fewest points in a game and in a half in its 55-34 loss to Air Force on Wednesday night.
The Raiders (3-6) shot 19.6 percent from the field and 10.5 percent from 3-point range against the Falcons (4-2), who avenged a loss at the Nutter Center last season. Michael Lyons had a game-high 15 points for Air Force, while Cole Darling led Wright State with seven points.
The Raiders entered the game ranked ninth in the Horizon League and 308th nationally in scoring offense, at 58.4 points per game.
Wright State started the game 1-of-12 while allowing a 15-0 Air Force run as the Falcons pushed to an early 18-2 lead. The Raiders stayed cold in the first half, making 5-of-27 (18.5 percent) while Air Force led 27-13 at the break. Vance Hall led WSU in scoring at halftime with three points as six different players scored.
The Raiders’ 13 points in the first half was a program record for fewest points in a half, breaking the mark of 14 set against Northern Iowa on Dec. 4, 1999. That 61-35 loss was the previous record for fewest total points.
