Detroit won its opening pre-season contest, 92-51, over Ohio Dominican in a game that featured four Titans in double figuring scoring, led by 24 points by sophomore newcomers Eli Holman and Chase Simon. Detroit shot 46 percent from the field and outrebounded the Panthers, 65-41, while forcing 19 turnovers.
Adrian, a Division III program and a member of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA), is led by first-year head coach and AC Hall-of-Famer Mark White. White returns to his Alma Mater after a successful high school coaching career in the Motor City, where he posted a 201-42 record at Renaissance and Southeastern High School.
Another interesting tie in to the game is Bulldog sophomore guard Joseph Kopicki, the son of former U-D star Joe Kopicki who tallied 1,410 points and is 16th in school history in the category. He would go on to be drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in the third round of the 1982 draft.
