CHICAGO (AP) -Vaughn Duggins scored a team-high 19 points to help Wright State hold on for a 76-75 win over Illinois-Chicago on Thursday night.

Todd Brown's 3-pointer with 12 seconds left built an insurmountable 76-72 lead for Wright State (10-6, 3-4 Horizon League). Jordan Pleiman scored 12 points and Scottie Wilson added 10 points for the Raiders.

Wright State, which led 39-38 at the half, went ahead for good on a layup by Duggins with 54 seconds left. That, along with Brown's shot, were enough so Josh Mayo's last-second 3-pointer couldn't lift Illinois-Chicago (9-8, 3-3) to the win.

Troy Tabler's 3-pointer extended the Raiders' lead to 11 points with 13:59 left. But the Flames climbed back in the game on 48 percent second-half shooting.

Mayo led Illinois-Chicago with 21 points. Karl White Jr. scored 20 points and Tori Boyd chipped in 11.
