The Detroit Mercy Titans, led by TJ Nadeau's 25 points, held off the Wisconsin, Milwaukee Panthers 91-86 in a high-scoring affair at Calihan Hall. The Titans, who have been averaging 76.4 points per game over their last 5 contests, came out strong in the first half, scoring 42 points and taking a 4-point lead into the break. Milwaukee, on the other hand, has been struggling to find consistency, averaging 76 points per game over their last 5, but being outscored by 2.6 points per game. The Panthers' recent trend of allowing 78.6 points per game over their last 5 contests was a concern coming into this matchup, and it ultimately was their downfall. Detroit Mercy's 91 points were the most they've scored in their last 5 games, and it was just enough to secure the 5-point victory.
The second half was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading baskets and neither able to gain a significant advantage. Milwaukee's Stevie Elam, who finished with 22 points and 7 rebounds, was a force to be reckoned with, but Detroit Mercy's balanced attack was too much for the Panthers to handle. The Titans had three players score in double figures, including Orlando Lovejoy, who chipped in 24 points and 7 rebounds, and Legend Geeter, who added 19 points and 8 rebounds. Detroit Mercy's ability to score from multiple positions and outrebound Milwaukee 38-32 was a key factor in their victory. The Titans also shot 51.7% from the field, including 42.9% from three-point range, which was a significant improvement from their 44.1% field goal percentage over their last 5 games.
Detroit Mercy's 91 Points Most in 5 Games
The star performers in this game were undoubtedly the trio of Nadeau, Lovejoy, and Geeter for Detroit Mercy. Nadeau hit several big shots, including a pair of three-pointers in the second half that helped to stem the tide of a Milwaukee rally. Lovejoy was a force in the paint, using his quickness and agility to get around defenders and score easily. Geeter, meanwhile, was a rebounding machine, grabbing 8 boards and helping to limit Milwaukee's second-chance opportunities. On the other side, Elam was the lone bright spot for Milwaukee, scoring 22 points and grabbing 7 rebounds. However, he received little support from his teammates, with only two other players scoring in double figures. Chandler Jackson and Amar Augillard chipped in 13 and 12 points, respectively, but it wasn't enough to overcome the balanced attack of Detroit Mercy.
The CHD Scout predicted Detroit Mercy to win by 5.5 points, and they were spot on, as the Titans emerged victorious by a 5-point margin.
