December matchup will be fifth all-time meeting |
DAYTON – Wright State men’s basketball head coach Clint Sargent has announced the Raiders will host Marshall inside the Nutter Center during the 2024-25 season, welcoming the Sun Belt Conference foe to Dayton on December 11.
This will be the fifth meeting all-time between the two schools, all coming since the turn of the century. The sides met in home-and-home contests in December 2006 and November 2007, then again in December 2020 and November 2021. The two sides have split the pair of meetings inside the Nutter Center, with the Raiders earning the win in the 2007 matchup before falling in the 2020 season-opening contest in the COVID-19 altered season.
“In terms of our scheduling criteria, this game makes a lot of sense for us,” Sargent said. “It’s important that we schedule home-and-homes with regional programs who have high expectations. We know Marshall is a great brand that our fans will enjoy having in the Nutter Center and will be a great test for our team.”
Wright State previously announced it will open the 2024-25 season at Kentucky on November 4, take part in the Myrtle Beach Invitational November 21-24 and host Air Force inside the Nutter Center on November 30.
Season tickets for the 2024-25 Wright State men’s basketball season are now available for Raider fans. Tickets can be purchased online at WSURaiders.com or by calling the WSU Athletics Ticket Office at 937-775-4934.
