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 on Saturday at Calihan Hall. The Titans are out to stop a three-game streak of losses at home.
Detroit received a tough blow on Thursday as they fell 69-52 to the Kent State Golden Flashes.
Meanwhile, WMU ended up a good deal behind the Valparaiso Brown and Gold when they played on Sunday, losing 71-60.
The losses put Detroit at 2-7 and WMU at 3-5. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Detroit has allowed their opponents to shoot 47.50% from the floor on average, which is the 10th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. The Broncos have experienced some struggles of their own as they are fourth worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 80.9 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
