Green Bay tops Wright State in back and forth game, 53-48
Final: Green Bay wins 53-48. The Phoenix took the lead for good at 45-44 with 4:04 left on a Keifer Sykes basket, and they held on with the help of a big Alec Brown offensive rebound with about 15 seconds left that led to two free throws by Kam Cerroni. Green Bay made 6-of-6 free throws in the final 58.8 seconds. The lead changed 14 times. Johann Mpondo and Reggie Arceneaux both had 12 points for Wright State.
6:29 second: Green bay leads 41-40. The Phoenix have scored on two straight possessions with a 3-pointer from Kam Cerroni and a rebound and jumper by Alec Brown to reach the lead. Before those baskets, they hadn’t scored in more than 4 minutes. WSU’s Armond Battle appeared to injure his ankle on a drive with 8:46 left, but he shot free throws after and had his ankle retaped. Johann Mpondo has 11 points for WSU, and Brown has 12 for Green Bay.
10:49 second: WSU leads 37-36. Vance Hall’s 3-pointer from the right corner after a Johann Mpondo steal set the current margin, and Reggie Arceneaux had a key drive and bucket after Green Bay took a lead. Arceneaux has 10 points on 4-6 shooting, but the teams remain very even in the game. Both are shooting fairly well with a slow offensive pace.
15:58 second: WSU leads 29-25. This matches the Raiders’ biggest lead. Johann Mpondo scored WSU’s first points in the half to reach 11 in the game, the fourth time this season and fifth time this year he has been in double figures. Green Bay’s Alec Brown scored to reach 10 points earlier in the half.
Halftime: WSU leads 24-23. The lead changed on the last four scores of the half, but Johann Mpondo’s hook with 1:51 left gave WSU the lead at the break. He has 9 points (averages 3.1), and Reggie Arceneaux has 8. WSU shooting 43.5 percent to Green Bay’s 39.1 percent. Alec Brown has 8 points and 4 rebounds for Green Bay.
3:20 first: WSU leads 20-16. The Raiders have twice led by 4 points, and Reggie Arceneaux leads all scorers with 8 points, including two 3-pointers. Julius Mays has just 2 points, but he also has 2 rebounds and 2 steals. Teams are shooting 40 percent and 42.1 percent, but Green Bay is 0-of-6 from 3-point range.
7:33 first: WSU leads 12-10. WSU freshman Reggie Arceneaux scored 5 straight points to give the Raiders their first lead at 12-10 with 7:57 left. Green Bay has scored 1 point in the past 4:29, and the Phoenix have 5 turnovers. WSU is on a 7-1 scoring stretch, and Arceneaux’s 5 points leads all scorers.
11:43 first: Green Bay leads 9-7. WSU shooting 3-8, including 0-2 from 3-point range. Green is shooting well, at 4-8, but has 3 turnovers. Green Bay’s Alec Brown has 4 points and 3 rebounds in the early going.
15:22 first: Green Bay leads 6-3. Johann Mpondo, with a freshly shaved head, has WSU’s 3 points, as he took to going to Green Bay forward Brennan Cougill early, getting one foul. Alec Brown had Green Bay’s first 4 points. WSU is 1-of-5 from the field.
12:00 first: Wright State starters: Reggie Arceneaux, Julius Mays, Vance Hall, Armond Battle, Johann Mpondo.
PREGAME: Wright State could finish the (late) night somewhere between sixth and eighth place in the Horizon League. The Raiders stand in seventh place while hosting eighth-place Green Bay, which would leapfrog WSU with a victory. But the Phoenix are 0-11 on the road this season. Last month, WSU lost a 17-point point in the 13:04 in losing to Green Bay by a point.
