The Raiders opened the second half with an 11-0 run to cut the Chippewa lead to eight points (34-26) with 17:33 left. Wright State would get as close as eight points again at the 17:00 mark but the Chippewas took control building their lead to as many as 29 points in the second stanza.
Junior guard Tim Kisner led the Chippewas with 17 pionts on the night. He shot five-of-seven from the three-point line and added a team-high six assists. Sophomore David Webber had 14 points and a team-best 10 rebounds while junior Luke Johnson chipped in 11 points.
