The Detroit Titans and Northern Kentucky Norse face off on Thursday in a college basketball showdown in the Horizon League Tournament at BB&T Arena. When these two teams faced off on February 18th it was Detroit that won 60-52. 

Antoine Davis was the top player for Detroit scoring 20 points. The top player for Northern Kentucky was Marques Warrick and he finished with 13 points. 

Detroit currently sits with a 14-14 record and they are coming off a win in the first round of the Horizon League Tournament. Detroit faced off with Green Bay, and the offense was elite in that game scoring 79 points, and that led to the blowout victory. The best player this season has been Antoine Davis and he is averaging 23.7 points while shooting 42.1 percent from the field and 37.7 percent from behind the three point line. As a team, the Titans are averaging 70.6 points while their defense is giving up 69.7 points per game. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Northern Kentucky Norse who sit with an 18-11 record and they have won three games in a row. In the last game against Youngstown State the defense was strong giving up only 61 points and that led to the easy victory. The Penguins are averaging 72.8 points while their defense is giving up 69.4 points per game. Michael Akuchie has been the top player for Youngstown State averaging 13.9 points while shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 32.1 percent from behind the three point line. 

Northern Kentucky is 9-2 against the spread in their last 11 games following an against the spread win. Detroit is 4-1 against the spread in their last five games. The under is 11-2 in Detroit’s last 13 road games. The over is 4-1 in Northern Kentucky’s last five home games. 

Detroit Mercy found success the first time these two teams played, but it’s going to be different in this game. When Detroit isn’t at home, they aren’t as good of a team, and they are going to struggle to defend in this game. Back Northern Kentucky against the spread.
