Wright State beats Bryant to score program's first win in NCAA men's basketball tournament

DAYTON, Ohio -- Wright State's campus is located just 12 miles from University of Dayton Arena, but the Raiders hadn't played a game there since 1997.

Their return won't soon be forgotten.

Playing in front of a Wright State-heavy crowd Wednesday night in the First Four, the Raiders beat Bryant 93-82 to record the first NCAA tournament win in team history. Guard Tanner Holden scored 37 points, one shy of a career high, to outplay the nation's leading scoring, Peter Kiss, in a matchup of No. 16 seeds.

Wright State advanced to the tournament's first round, where it will face No. 1 seed Arizona on Friday in San Diego.
