Detroit's four-game road swing continues as UDM heads south to Dayton, where the Titans will meet the Raiders of Wright State on Saturday. Game time is slated for 7:00 p.m.

The “Voice of the Titans” Matt Dery will have all the action from the Ervin J. Nutter Center on WDFN-AM 1130. The Horizon League Network will webcast the game live, while fans can also view a live stats feed through CSTV's gametracker.

Detroit (7-17, 2-12 HL) was upended by UIC, 64-53, on Tuesday despite its fourth consecutive game with a 20-point scorer as junior Thomas Kennedy netted a team-nigh 21 points. Senior Michael Harrington had a career-best 13 points and five rebounds, while junior Eulis Stephens collected four steals and six boards.


ABOUT WRIGHT STATE
While Wright State has split its last four games, the Raiders have rebounded from an awful 0-6 start to win 15 of their last 19. Three of their four losses during the streak have been to nationally-ranked teams in Butler, twice, and Wake Forest. WSU currently stands in a three-way tie for third in the Horizon League with a 9-5 mark, and is 15-10 overall on the year. 

The Raiders are led by junior guard Todd Brown, who tops the team in scoring (10.4), and is second in rebounding (5.2) and third in assists (1.4). Junior forward Cory Cooperwood leads the team in rebounding with 5.4 per night to go with 9.7 ppg., while junior guard John David Gardner, who has missed the last two games with a hip injury, is averaging 8.7 ppg. 

WSU announced in late January that All-Horizon League guard Vaughn Duggins would miss the rest of the season and redshirt following surgery on his ring finger on his right hand. 

Wright State's defense is ranked as one of the top defensive units in the conference as well as the country holding opponents to just 55.6 points per contest. 

Brad Brownell is in his seventh year as a Division I head coach and his third at WSU. He is 141-70 overall and 58-30 at Wright State.

DETROIT VS. WRIGHT STATE
Detroit owns the overall series, 18-16, but Wright State has won six in a row and seven of the last eight meetings. The Titans are 6-11 all-time against the Raiders in Dayton, and have not defeated WSU on the road since a 74-60 victory on Feb. 11, 2004.

HARRINGTON NETS CAREER BEST
Senior Michael Harrington came off the bench to put in a career-high 13 points at UIC his last time out. After not scoring in two straight games against Youngstown State and Butler, Harrington is averaging 11.5 ppg and 4.0 rpg over his last two games.

EULIS, HAYES DUO READY FOR WSU
Senior Chris Hayes and junior Eulis Stephens have had some productive nights against one of the conference's best defensive teams. Stephens, who is averaging 9.8 points in six career games against Wright State, has hit double digits against the Raiders in three straight contests, including a career-high 18 points in last year's HL tournament. 

Meanwhile, Hayes is tallying 9.0 ppg., and 5.0 rpg., in six career games against WSU.

ANOTHER TITAN NETS 20
