Who’s Getting Upset? Detroit (vs. Youngstown State, 9:00 p.m. on ESPNU)Late Night Snacks: Ivy League, Horizon take center stage--CollegeBasketballTalk
Youngstown State head coach Jerry Slocum shouldn’t have to say much to motivate his Penguins in advance of this game. Just hand out a box score of the first meeting this season, a 101-60 Detroit victory in Youngstown. Slocum wasn’t too thrilled with the way Ray McCallum Sr.’s Titans handled the final five minutes of the game (that question gets asked at the 0:52 mark of this video), one in which Detroit hit 11-of-20 from beyond the arc.
Ray McCallum Jr., Jason Calliste and Nick Minnerath can give opposing teams fits, and YSU will need to be at their best defensively in order to combat that firepower. The Penguins hold opponents to 37% shooting from the field and in veterans Kendrick Perry and Damian Eargle they’ve got two players capable of causing problems on the other end. Youngstown State has won four straight, and the motivation of that first meeting could be enough to push them past Detroit.

Detroit 88, Youngstown State 77
Four starters for Detroit finished with double figures, led by Ray McCallum’s 23 points. Like Princeton, the win for Detroit keeps the Titans in the hunt for the top spot in their conference. Detroit sits half a game out of first, behind Valparaiso. Detroit has three upcoming games against teams with a combined 8-18 record in the Horizon League. After that Detroit gets another shot at Valpo.
Valparaiso 71, Milwaukee 40
The Crusaders could have lost sole possession of first place in the Horizon League, but held the Panthers to a dismal 27 percent shooting from the field, en route to a blowout win. Valparaiso has won six of seven. Three of the next four won’t be easy — against Illinois-Chicago, on the road at Wright State and back home against Detroit. The Crusaders have beaten all three of those team, but by a combined 12 points.

Starred
Ray McCallum, Detroit
The Horizon League’s leading scorer eclipsed the 20-point mark for the 13th time this season, scoring a 23 points with six assists, three rebounds and five steals. He was great from the field connecting on 9-of-15 and 3-of-4 from behind the arc.
