Wright State Raiders beat Franklin Grizzlies 86-37 at Nutter Center on November 3, 2025.

In a commanding performance, the Wright State Raiders triumphed over the Franklin Grizzlies with a final score of 86-37 at the Nutter Center, marking a strong start to their season. This game showcased the Raiders' ability to dominate on their home court, where they have a record of 4-1 in their last five games. In contrast, the Grizzlies have struggled, particularly in their away games, where they have yet to secure a victory, holding an away record of 0-1 after this defeat.

Wright State entered this matchup with a mixed recent form, having won four of their last ten games, but they were looking to bounce back from a loss in their previous outing. The Raiders averaged 77.1 points scored while allowing 80.6 points in those games. Their last five games saw them average 80.4 points scored and 83.0 points allowed, indicating a need for improvement defensively. However, their performance against Franklin demonstrated a significant turnaround, as they held their opponents to just 37 points.

On the other hand, Franklin's recent form has been less than ideal, as they came into this game with a record of 0-1 after losing to the Ball State Cardinals, where they scored 60 points while allowing 87. This game against Wright State marked their second consecutive loss, extending their streak to one. The Grizzlies averaged only 60 points in their last outing, which is a stark contrast to the Raiders' scoring capabilities.

The matchup was also notable for the disparity in home and away performance. Wright State has shown resilience at home, while Franklin's struggles on the road have been evident. This game further highlighted the challenges Franklin faces when playing away from their home court.

In terms of individual performances, the scoring plays in the second half included multiple free throws and a three-point jumper by Justin Harrington, which helped solidify Wright State's lead. The Raiders demonstrated their offensive prowess throughout the game, with a balanced scoring attack that kept the Grizzlies on their heels.

The market had priced Wright State as the clear favorite, with a home win probability of 1.0, reflecting their strong home record and Franklin's difficulties. This was evident in the final score, which showed the Raiders' dominance throughout the contest.

As for conditions, the game took place in the Nutter Center, a venue known for its home-court advantage for the Raiders. The atmosphere likely contributed to Wright State's strong performance, allowing them to capitalize on their home support.

Overall, this game was a significant statement for Wright State as they look to build momentum for the season ahead. Their ability to perform well at home and dominate an opponent like Franklin sets a positive tone for their upcoming fixtures.
