   MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Justin Mitchell tied his career-high of 21 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as Wright State rallied late to beat Milwaukee 70-67 on Saturday, snapping a two-game skid.
   It was Mitchell's fifth double-double this season. He was 9 of 16 from the field for the Raiders (12-7, 3-3 Horizon League). Mark Alstork added 17 points and seven assists, Grant Benzinger had 14 points and Mike La Tulip 12.
