2026 Tournament PreviewWright State is back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2022 and fifth time in program history after winning the Horizon League tournament as the top seed. The Raiders are led by freshman Michael Cooper (13.4 ppg), who shoots 36.4 percent from three-point range, sophomore point guard TJ Burch (12.3 ppg, 3.5 apg, 2.5 spg), who averaged 19 points in the conference tourney, and 6-9 Kellen Pickett (8.7 ppg, 5.4 rpg), the Horizon League Freshman of the Year. A good shooting team, Wright State is top 60 nationally in effective field-goal percentage (per KenPom), draining 36.1 percent from the perimeter (51st). The Raiders are without a Quad 1 or 2 win, but they played 31-1 Miami (OH) to within seven points at home. The program's only tournament win came in a 2022 play-in game, but there's nothing to suggest it's any closer to a first-round win.
