The Wright State Raiders men’s basketball team will open Horizon League play at home against Robert Morris on Dec. 1. That’s the first of 20 games on the 2022-23 conference schedule, which was announced Tuesday.

Wright State finished 15-7 in the Horizon League last season, a half game behind Cleveland State and Purdue-Fort Wayne and percentage points behind Northern Kentucky. The Raiders then won the Horizon League tournament, beating Northern Kentucky 72-71 in the championship game.
