Preview

CLEVELAND (Interstat) — Two Horizon League men’s basketball teams seeking consistency will meet Saturday when the Detroit Titans visit the Cleveland State Vikings at Wolstein Center. Both teams enter with 3-win records. Detroit (3-6) has shown recent momentum, winning two of its last three games, including a 92-78 home victory over IU Indy on Wednesday. Ayden Carter led the Titans with 21 points in that win, supported by London Maiden’s 18 points. Cleveland State (3-7) looks to rebound from a 95-80 road loss to Northern Kentucky on the same night. The Vikings have dropped four of their last five. Guards Tre Beard (20 points) and Jaidon Lipscomb (23 points) provided the scoring punch in the defeat. The matchup represents the conference opener for both programs. Detroit’s season has featured a challenging non-conference slate with road losses to power conference opponents Michigan State and Notre Dame. Cleveland State has similarly faced tough tests, falling to Missouri and Northwestern. The Titans will rely on their recent offensive uptick after scoring 92 points twice this season. The Vikings will aim to leverage home court advantage, where they are 2-2, and tighten a defense allowing an average of 87.3 points over its last three losses. Saturday’s contest begins a critical stretch of league play for both squads as they look to improve their standing in the Horizon.
