The Titans close out the home portion of the season with a match up against Wright State on Thursday, February 22, at Calihan Hall. Wright State is a 12.5 point favorite, with a 90% chance of winnning, but even with those numbers, this is the best chance the Titans have to get win #2 on the season. Keep hope alive, but don't count on it. Tip off is at 7PM. The Raiders have won 3 of 4 and beat the Titans by 7 at Dayton earlier this season. Detroit trailed by 18 at the half, but cut the lead all the way down to 3 with a couple of minutes left. Obviously, not digging a big hole is a key for Detroit to have a chance this season. It's senior night, so the Titans will honor Del Cadia and Kyle. Kyle's a traditional senior; we have watched him grow up as he's spent his entire career in Detroit. We've learned to respect his work ethic and his willingness to play through injury. On the other hand...Edoardo, we hardly knew ye. I hope there's a good crowd. Go Titans! detroittitans.com/news/2024/2/21/mens-basketball-welcomes-wright-state-on-senior-day.aspx

Eight minutes to tip, less than 50 fans in the building.

Eight minutes to tip, less than 50 fans in the building. As we get underway, I estimate 150 fans, 200 folks if you count the players and coaches.

Titans fell behind by 13, but rallied to close it to three, 31-28, at the under 4 timeout. Tank is playing great.

Down 43-41. The WSU defense is not good.

43-41 at the half. Much better first half performance than we saw last time these teams met.
Comments from Mike Davis Jr: "Picked up where we left off offensively against Wright State, but we also picked up where we left off defensively. We want to pack the inside and we know we'll give up some threes, but have to close out with our hands up. Wright State is great on offense, not great on defense. Stone played a full half, needs to not settle for three. We're a bad three point team and you can drive on Wright State. We gotta get stops and continue to get better shots. I trust Stone and Tank to score when they get to the basket. Tank is doing that. We can't let up, continue to improve. I've seen improvement with Edoardo lately.

Terrible refereeing team and Mike Davis just got a T ! Two points we didn’t need to give away!

Final score 93-78.
Head coach comments.
"Have to take your hat off to our guys. They're playing hard. 52% shooting good, but defense was not good at all. We lost concentration during that big run, made a few mistakes, missed some rebounds. But we played hard, and we're getting ready for the conference tournament. You have to hand it to Kyle, getting his degree and working on his masters already. He's a hard worker. Edoardo is a good talent, but he lets things get to him."
