Wright State's Unsung Hero of the Epic 2007 Butler Upset
Scottie Wilson, Wright State forward from the 2006-08 era, co-led the Raiders' legendary 43-42 upset over No. 13 Butler in 2007 with 10 crucial points alongside Todd Brown, averaging 6.3 PPG and 4.6 RPG at 50.3% FG efficiency per ESPN stats; his rebounding tenacity shone in the Horizon League title game and 12-board outbursts, marking him as a gritty, efficient role player with perfect 4-for-4 shooting vs. Butler. Now an assistant coach at Ohio's Middletown High girls' basketball since 2019, his blue-collar intensity and clutch reliability make him a coach's dream for teams needing tough, fundamentals-first forwards.
