This is the type of game YSU needs to win if it's going to to take a step to the next level and try to compete for a championship. It's especially important with road games against N. Kentucky and Wright State next week.
Detroit has always been a team YSU has struggled with whether they've been good or bad and this may be one of the worst teams they've had in awhile. They've won 12 of the last 13 against YSU with the only win being last year at Detroit. It's mind blowing that's it's been 6 years since YSU beat them at home. In the past, these games have usually always been high scoring and YSU has generally never been as athletic and as physical as them. YSU is a 6.5 point favorite.
YSU can't let Davis go off like he did last year at home. He has the ability to light anyone up if he gets hot. He's averaging over 24 a game, but surprisingly his 3-PT % is just 31%. He's shooting 92% at the line at has got there 97 times.
They are 3-14 and haven't won a true away game this year. They beat UC-Irvine on a neutral site and beat So. IL Edwardsville & N. KY at home. They have played a lot of good teams...Gonzaga, Clemson, NC State, Notre Dame, and Kent St. They also played competitive games against MAC schools of Toledo & Ohio.
