Princeton (4-1) vs. Wright State (3-2, 1-2 D1) – 8:00 PM ET (ESPN+)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day takes place in the Myrtle Beach Invitational – an opening round game between the Princeton Tigers and the Wright State Raiders. Princeton is no stranger to close games this year – despite a home loss to Loyola-Chicago last week, the Tigers do have road wins against Northeastern and Merrimack to soften the blow a bit. The three-headed monster of Dalen Davis, Xaivian Lee and Caden Pierce lead the way for Princeton.
Wright State is going through a bit of a transition under new head coach Clint Sargent, but he was the associate head coach under Scott Nagy the past few seasons. The Raiders have played on the road for all three of their D1 games; they have losses to Kentucky and Toledo but did beat the Miami Redhawks last week. Brandon Neal is averaging over 21 points a game for Wright State.
