What you need to know about Detroit

Detroit had won five games in a six-game stretch prior to dropping its last two on the road against Youngstown State and Oakland. The Titans will now be at home for the final four games of the regular season. They are currently riding a 12-game home winning streak, but this will be their first home game in the month of February. 

Senior guard Antoine Davis is one of the most prolific scorers in the country, averaging 23.4 points and 4.9 assists per game. Second-leading scorer Madut Akec has missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury, so his status for Friday's game is questionable. The Titans have covered the spread in six of their last seven games as favorites. 

What you need to know about Northern Kentucky

Northern Kentucky is on a roll, having won nine of its last 10 games coming into this contest. The lone loss during that stretch came at home against Detroit, so it will be a motivated group on Friday night. This will be the fourth game of a five-game road trip that opened with wins at Milwaukee, Green Bay and Wright State. 

Sophomore guard Marques Warrick leads Northern Kentucky with 14.9 points per game, while Trevon Faulkner and Sam Vinson are both scoring in double figures as well. The Norse have won nine of their last 11 games against Detroit and have covered the spread in nine of their last 10 games overall. They rank No. 11 nationally in offensive rebounding percentage.
