What to Know
The Detroit Titans will be returning home after a nine-game road trip. They will take on the Western Michigan Broncos at 1 p.m. ET Saturday at Calihan Hall. The Titans are out to stop a three-game streak of losses at home.
On Thursday, Detroit lost to the Kent State Golden Flashes on the road by a decisive 69-52 margin.
Meanwhile, WMU received a tough blow on Sunday as they fell 71-60 to the Valparaiso Brown and Gold.
Detroit is the favorite in this one, with an expected 10-point margin of victory. Those playing the odds have seen things go back and forth with Detroit, who are 5-4 against the spread.
The losses put Detroit at 2-7 and the Broncos at 3-5. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Titans have allowed their opponents to shoot 47.50% from the floor on average, which is the 10th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. WMU has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the fourth most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 80.9 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
