Meanwhile, this season hasn’t been kind to Detroit, who are still winless after their 24th match. They took a 75-67 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Colonials on Saturday.

The Raiders’ victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 13-11. Those victories were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 91.7 points per game. As for the Titans, their loss dropped their record down to 0-23.

This contest is shaping up to be a blowout: Wright State just can’t miss this season, having made 53.8% of their shots per game (they’re ranked first in field goal percentage overall). It’s a different story for Detroit, though, as they’ve only made 40.3% of their shots this season.
