3. Raiders look to get healthy: Wright State wraps up the regular season with two games this week, including a Saturday matinee home game with Youngstown State at 2 p.m. The Raiders are tied with Green Bay for the No. 3 seed in the tournament and a first-round bye, so both games this week are must wins. WSU also travels to UIC on Tuesday. Green Bay closes with first-place Valparaiso and last-place Milwaukee. Having Cole Darling (foot) and Reggie Arceneaux (concussion) back would be a major boost for the Raiders.
4. RedHawks look for ice title: Miami looks to take momentum into the Central Collegiate Hockey Association tournament when the RedHawks host Ohio State for a pair of games Friday (7:35 p.m.) and Saturday (7:05 p.m.). A tie or shootout loss secures at least a share of the CCHA title. A shootout win or regulation win gives the RedHawks their fourth straight title.
5. Prep tournament trail: Now it's getting serious. Girls basketball will be cutting down the nets with district championships this week, while the boys continue sectional play. Beavercreek, Fairmont and Troy qualified for the state bowling tournament this past Saturday, while the girls hold their district championship today at Beaver-Vu Lanes. Gymnastics holds its state meet Friday and Saturday with Mason, Centerville and a host of area individuals among the competitors. And district champs Graham (Division II) and Troy Christian (Division III) lead the contingent of wrestlers into the state tournament this Thursday through Saturday.
