INDIANAPOLIS - IUPUI had four players score in double-figures but fell to visiting Wright State inside Indiana Farmers Coliseum on Monday afternoon (Jan. 2), 82-68. Chris Osten hit all seven of his field goal attempts and finished with a team-high 15 points and Jlynn Counter added 13 points and three assists. 

Freshman Vincent Brady II tallied 11 and Daylan Hamilton scored 10 in the loss. Trey Calvin led Wright State (8-7, 1-3 HL) with 21 points and three steals and Brandon Noel had 14 points and 15 rebounds in the victory. 

Wright State shot 50 percent from the field and connected on 8-of-21 (38.1 percent) from three while IUPUI shot 47.3 percent overall and just 2-of-10 (20 percent) from three. 

"I thought we did a good job offensively today. I thought we moved the ball and made some things happen offensively. Defensively, we didn't get enough stops. Credit to Wright State, they took care of the basketball and made plays offensively," head coach Matt Crenshaw said. "We missed some open shots in some critical situations where I thought we could get some momentum and get a run going. Those hurt when you get a key stop and then don't capitalize at the other end."

The early stages were nip-and-tuck as Jonah Carrasco put the Jags in front by flushing a feed from Counter for a 12-10 advantage. However, Wright State fired back with a 7-0 run , capped by a Noel and-1 to regain a five-point lead. The Jags stayed close before Wright State outscored the hosts 14-4 over the final six-plus minutes of the first half to take a 43-30 lead into intermission. 

The Jags had a 7-0 run early in the second half on Hamilton jumpers sandwiched around an Osten hook shot to creep within nine. However, each time IUPUI made a move, the Raiders responded with a bucket. On this occasion, Calvin stroked an open trey to push the lead back to double-digits. 

Calvin finished 3-of-6 from deep and Alex Huibregtse made three threes off the WSU bench as part of his 13-point game. Amari Davis tallied 14 for the Raiders on 7-of-11 shooting, but fouled out midway through the second half when he and Hamilton were given technicals for exchanging pleasantries after a foul call.

Osten finished 7-of-7 from the field in 22 minutes of work and freshman Amhad Jarrard had eight points on 4-of-4 shooting off the bench. 

IUPUI shot 54 percent after intermission to close just under 50 percent. 

The Jaguars will return to action on Saturday, Jan. 7 when they travel to Youngstown State for a 2:00 p.m. tip-off on ESPN+. The Jags will then cap the two-game trip at Robert Morris on Monday (Jan. 9) at 7:00 p.m..
