Detroit Mercy 11/10 7:00 ESPN+

[Lobot]

Detroit Mercy got destroyed by Toledo last night 94-60. The Titans no longer have a big scorer like in past years. It's bit too early to get into statistical analysis but you have a couple obvious scorers at the guard position to watch out for (link below) The Titan's roster is extremely international with 5 foreign players but I'm not sure what that translates to in style of play for them, if anything.

I forgot to mention this is an MTE game. I have no idea how many tickets they've sold for this but chances are there's still seats if you're looking for something to do Friday night.

I checked UC's website and there are about 100 tickets left for Friday night, all downstairs. UC is not trying to sell any seats in the upper level. I imagine they will cordon off the upper deck, as they did for the NIT game with VA Tech last season.

There remain about 500 seats left for Sunday afternoon against EWU.

The UDM fan base is, to say the least, pessimistic about their season. One guy posted a contest to pick the largest and smallest margins of loss during the upcoming 0-31 season.

The Titans' website recap of their 94-60 loss at Toledo Monday night included a typo that might be indicative of where they're headed: "Later on, a layup by Tankersley and a drunk from Jankovic ..."

The early KenPom ranking has UDM as #308 nationally, with a dreadful #352 in defensive efficiency. There's no betting line on this yet, although KenPom has the Cats as about a four TD favorite.

Reminds me of Bob Uecker in Major League.

Completely forgot that Mike Davis is the coach at DM.

ESPN is showing UC as a 24.5 point favorite

Multi Team Event. Neutral site Holiday tournaments fall into this category like Maui last year. We're hosting one rather than traveling this season.

How many of you remember the Delta Bearcat Classic where we had Sam Houston and NW Missouri come in every year plus a 4th?
