The 2001–02 Wright State Raiders men's basketball team represented Wright State University in the 2001–02 NCAA Division I men's basketball season led by head coach Ed Schilling.

Season Summary

Big men at the mid-major level are the difference maker. Wright State graduated veteran center Bruno Petersons, then saw all-conference junior Israel Sheinfeld go pro, 6' 9" Ross McGreggor give up the game and forward Michael Doles quit the team. While a season of 'small-ball' was inevitable, 2001-02 also saw the Doliboa brothers become eligible adding instant offensive credibility. Combined with continued fine play by Vernard Hollins and Jesse Deister, it was good enough for 17 wins and another 4th-place finish in league play. Especially encouraging were several league wins on the road. The Horizon League tournament ended with a disappointing loss to Loyola just a week after beating them at home.[1]

Roster Changes

Joining

  • Malcolm Andrews (G) recruited out of Western Hills High School in Cincinnati.[2]

Leaving

  • Israel Sheinfeld left to play professional Basketball.[4][5]
  • Ross McGreggor left the team in August after a redshirt season intending to no longer play college basketball. [6]
  • Michael Doles left at the end of October citing feeling homesick, although he also was struggling to meet the preseason conditioning running drill requirement.[7]
