DETROIT (Interstat) — A Horizon League rematch with postseason implications awaits Friday when the Detroit Titans host the Milwaukee Panthers at Calihan Hall. The Titans (12-13, 8-6 Horizon) look to complete a regular-season sweep after a 76-63 road victory over the Panthers on Feb. 4. Detroit enters having won three of its last four, including a 76-70 home win over Youngstown State on Sunday. Forward Tyler Spratt has been pivotal, averaging 15.8 points and 6.3 rebounds over his last six games. He posted 10 points in the earlier win against Milwaukee. The Panthers (11-17, 7-8) aim to avenge that loss and build on a narrow 75-72 home win over Green Bay last Sunday. Their hopes lean heavily on guard Chandler Jackson, who erupted for 23 points in that victory. Jackson, averaging 16.4 points in his last five outings, was held to eight points in the first meeting with Detroit. Both teams are jockeying for position in the conference standings with the league tournament approaching. Detroit sits in the middle of the pack, while Milwaukee seeks to climb above .500 in league play. Defensive intensity will be a key focus. The Titans held Milwaukee to 38% shooting in the February matchup. The Panthers must improve their offensive execution against a Detroit team that has shown inconsistency, including a 13-point loss at Green Bay on Feb. 7. The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. EST tipoff on Friday, Feb. 20, 2026. Detroit continues its homestand against Green Bay on Sunday. Milwaukee travels to face Oakland on Sunday.
