With the move to Division I just two seasons away, the Raiders hope to leave Division II status after having firmly established themselves as the most successful team during their last IO years in Division II. The Raiders have a good start on that claim. advancing to the regional tournament six times in the last eight years. They won the Division II national championship in 1983 and were a regional finalist last season. Having built a solid base as the most successful program in Division II. in two years Wright State will be able to move on to Division I. The 1985-86 team may add yet another cornerstone to the foundation of the basketball program. With the top eight players returning. including all five starters. the Raiders are hopeful of a top-ten ranking. - But the schedule. which includes homc-and­ - home contests with Kentucky Wesleyan and Southern Indiana. a pair of regional qualifiers last year. will challenge the veteran team. Wright State also has difficult size inside with a 6-8 frame.
