Current Records: Youngstown State 7-4; Detroit 4-7

What to Know

The Detroit Titans are 10-3 against the Youngstown State Penguins since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Thursday. The Titans and Youngstown State will face off in a Horizon League battle at 7 p.m. ET at Calihan Hall. Detroit won both of their matches against Youngstown State last season (78-75 and 77-72) and is aiming for the same result this time around.

Detroit strolled past the Central Michigan Chippewas with points to spare last week, taking the contest 89-75.

Meanwhile, Youngstown State was expected to have a tough go of it last Wednesday, and, well, they did. They got maybe a little too into the holiday spirit, gifting the West Virginia Mountaineers an easy 82-52 win. One thing holding the Penguins back was the mediocre play of forward Michael Akuchie, who did not have his best game: he finished with ten points on 4-for-11 shooting in his 28 minutes on the court.

The Titans are now 4-7 while Youngstown State sits at a mirror-image 7-4. Detroit is 2-1 after wins this year, and Youngstown State is 2-1 after losses.
