Detroit has ended the regular season on a positive note. On February 25th on the road, the Titans beat the Raiders, 77-67, in Horizon action.
Detroit got the victory by overwhelming Wright State in shooting and rebounding. The Titans shot 56% and the Raiders shot 44%, enough to make a difference. Detroit focused on rebounding to get more looks offensively, with an advantage of 38 to 21. A big highlight for Detroit was their 61% three point shooting, which was far better than their season average of 35%.
The experts didn't pick the Titans in this game, but they were proved wrong. The Titans are awful on the road, but the Raiders had no momentum and had lost 3 out of 5. The Titans have already seen the Raiders this year, and this win gives us a regular season sweep.
Chris Blake put up the most points against the Raiders with 21 on 63% shooting from the floor in 35 minutes, 12 of those points coming from three point range.
Nick Minnerath contributed 11 big rebounds.
