The 2004–05 Wright State Raiders men's basketball team represented Wright State University in the 2004–05 NCAA Division I men's basketball season led by head coach Paul Biancardi.

Season summary It was a competitive season of Horizon League basketball. In the nine team league, only three teams would finish with a winning record, and only Milwaukee separated from the pack. Wright State finished in a three-way tie for fourth at 8-8. A season of lifting wins and sinking losses. 2004-05 had the excitement of watching Zach Williams play for the Raiders, as well as watching DaShaun Wood, Drew Burleson and Zakee Boyd continue their development. Freshmen Spencer and Pleiman were relied on heavily and rose to the occasion. In the end a season of development, but the Raiders lacked the experience and depth to compete for the league title.

The tournament provided a bright memory to finish the year with the Wright State Raiders beating their nemesis, the Butler Bulldogs, at the Nutter Center in the opening round.

Roster Changes Joining Spencer Everett Jordan Pleiman a 6' 8" forward recruited from Fort Loramie. Lorenzo Shine a guard from Detroit Rogers High School. Parysh Munroe from Freeport, Bahamas by way of Massanuten Military Academy. Jaron Taylor a transfer from Catonsville Community College. Kimo Brown walked on after playing for Victor Valley Junior College. Scott Wilson will red shirt after transferring from Cincinnati State.

Leaving Vova Severosa suddenly left the team in early December after it appeared that Jordan Pleiman had moved ahead of him in the rotation.
