Wright State takes Horizon League men’s title

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — TJ Burch scored 16 of his 19 points in the second half to help top-seeded Wright State rally from a 12-point deficit and beat No. 3 seed Detroit Mercy 66-63 in the Horizon League Championship title game on Tuesday night.

Wright State used a 25-7 run, capped by consecutive 3-pointers from Logan Woods, for a 62-56 lead with 1:21 remaining. With nine seconds left, TJ Nadeau’s 3-pointer pulled Detroit Mercy to 65-63. Michael Cooper then missed two free throws for the Raiders, but on the Titans’ final possession Kellen Pickett blocked Orlando Lovejoy’s layup attempt. Michael Imariagbe ended it with a free throw.

Pickett added 17 points and Imariagbe finished with 12 for Wright State (23-11).

Wright State is the third straight Horizon team to complete the regular-season and tournament-title sweep, joining Oakland (2024) and Robert Morris (2025).
