Scott Nagy is entering his third season as Wright State’s That means a more significant role for 6-11 senior men’s basketball coach. Both players and fans know Parker Ernsthausen, who had some of the best what Nagy’s teams should look like—fundamentally games of his career during last year’s postsea- sound, gritty on defense, good decision-makers on son.

It’s a look the Raiders and their fans are getting used “He excels on defense and (opponents) can’t to. They’re also beginning to get used to winning. leave him alone out on the perimeter,” Nagy said. “He may shoot more 3s than 2s this season.” “We are at a level now where there is no more transition,” Nagy said. “The transition is over.

The most significant missing piece is fierce and fear- less Grant Benzinger, who led the team in scoring (14.3 points per game) and floor burns. “The things that are hard to quantify, his energy and toughness, and going to be the hardest to replace,” Nagy said.

From a strictly basketball standpoint, , this year’s Raid- ers will revolve around Loudon Love.

The 6-foot-9, center was the league’s Freshman of the Year after averaging 12.9 points and 9.7 rebounds. Love had sat out the previous two seasons after suf- fering a horrific knee injury in high school football. He made good use of that time, dropping from 318 pounds to his current 280 and gaining physical matu- rity and athleticism.

“He continues to get better at not turning the ball over and at free throw shooting,” Nagy said. “That (free throws) is important for him and for us because we are going to try to lead the nation in post touches.”

Only one number in the proud history of Wright State Univer- sity men’s basketball has ever been retired. That number is 42. It was worn by the pro- grams’ all-time scorer from 1989–93, as he led the Raiders to the NCAA Tournament at the RCA Dome. During his playing days he set many records, includ-

Bill Edwards ing most points in a career (2,303), in a game (45) and rebounds in a career (907).

When DaShaun Wood ended his collegiate career, many compared his numbers and impact to Bill Edwards. Well, his numbers may not be as high but his impact for the program trying to find an identity is very comparable. He finished second to Edwards with 1,849 points and is the only DaShaun Wood WSU player to have garnered at least 1,800 points, 500 rebounds, 450 assists, and 200 steals. His name will be forever inscribed in the Raider record book. DaShaun signed a multi- year million dollar contract to play in Italy in 2008 and currently plays in Germany.
