The Milwaukee Panthers and Detroit Mercy Titans face off on Friday in a college basketball showdown at Calihan Hall. The last time these two teams faced off was February of 2020 and it was Detroit Mercy that won 79-73. 

The Milwaukee Panthers come into this game with a 5-9 record overall and they have gone 6-7 against the spread. The last game for Milwaukee came against Green Bay and the defense locked down giving up only 49 points on the way to the victory. The Panthers like to play a slower pace and they are averaging 64.4 points while their defense is giving up 68 points per game. DeAndre Gholston has been the top player for Milwaukee averaging 15.8 points while shooting 40.6 percent from the field and 36 percent from behind the three point line.

On the other side of this matchup is the Detroit Titans who sit with a 4-7 record and they have gone 6-4-1 against the spread. In the last game against Central Michigan the offense was elite scoring 89 points, and that was enough for the 15 point victory. Detroit Mercy is averaging 68 points while their defense is giving up 71.7 points per game. Guard Antonie Davis has been the top player for Detroit Mercy averaging 22.2 points while shooting 37.8 percent from the field and 39.8 percent from behind the three point line. 

Detroit Mercy is 6-0-1 against the spread in their last seven home games. The over is 5-0 in Detroit Mercy’s last five games played on Friday. The under is 4-0 in Milwaukee’s last four road games against a team with a winning home record. The over is 4-0 in Titans last 4 games against. a team with a losing straight up record.

These are two offenses that have been strong this season, and especially Detroit Mercy is a team that struggles to defend. Look for a fast-paced game with very little defense played, and both teams making plenty of shots. One of these teams will go over 80 and the over will cash.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
