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.

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.

The Horizon League tournament ended with a disappointing loss to Loyola just a week after beating them at home.
