DETROIT (2/8/2019) -- The University of Detroit Mercy men's basketball team will look for a split in the first part of its five-game road swing as the Titans travel to Wright State on Saturday.

Game time is set for 7 p.m. and will be broadcast live on ESPN+ as well as on the radio dial on 910 AM Superstation with the Voice of the Titans Dan Hasty on the call. 

Detroit Mercy comes into the game at 6-6 in the Horizon League, where there is a log jam in the middle of the standings. Wright State is 8-4 in the conference, just a game out of the top spot.

The Titans defeated the Raiders earlier this year, 79-58, as Antoine Davis nearly broke the school record scoring a Titan freshman record 48 points. Davis has continued his stellar freshman season as he now has 106, 3-pointers, second in school history and tied for seventh all-time among NCAA freshman as he is still chasing Stephen Curry's mark of 122. 

A win would give the red, white and blue its first regular-season sweep over WSU since the 2010-11 campaign.
