Detroit Takes Down Rhode Island Despite Drought
This isn't the performance that you want to show your kids one day if you play for Detroit. The Titans went almost the final four minutes without making a basket.
Yet, they walked away with a 70-68 win at home thanks to a last second shot falling just short for the Rams.
This one certainly wasn't Xavier Munford's fault, who had 22 points and shot 50 percent from the field. He had help from Gilvydas Biruta who had 14 points and 10 boards, yet committed five turnovers in the loss.
But someone has to figure something out for Rhode Island, which has now dropped three in a row including that heartbreaking loss to Providence by one earlier in the week. The best win for the Rams, well, that is pretty much non-existent at this point. You wouldn't want to point to anything in the win column as a great effort currently.
They have two weeks to sort this out and get their heads straight.
Detroit was led by Juwan Howard Jr. with 17 points and eight boards and Evan Bruinsma added 15 points, five rebounds and three assists in the win.
Eastern Michigan has been playing well thus far this season, but the Eagles were in the midst of a three game skid. EMU moved to 6-3 last night by knocking off a hot UW-Green Bay team, who was coming off a win against Virginia. Our friends at Hustle Belt have a good look at the game.
I don't know who Greg Kampe was mad at when he put together Oakland's schedule for this year (or maybe the Grizz just have a bunch of bills to pay?), but it's been brutal. Oakland got beat down again last night by a power conference team, but the sad part was that Travis Bader didn't make a three. It was the first game in 62 affairs that Darth Bader didn't convert from beyond the arc.

Travis Bader - Oakland Golden GrizzliesOpponents Q&A: Oakland Golden Grizzlies--The Only Colors
Last year, some of the better three-pointer shooters in the nation included Marshall Henderson and Rotnei Clarke. Clarke isn't a household name, but plays on a good team. Henderson made himself a household name with his theatrics on and off the court. But the player that led the nation? Some kid named Travis Bader from Oakland. Not Oakland, Calif. mind you, but Oakland University in Michigan.
Bader led the nation with 139 three-pointers last season. The year before, he hit 124. He sits at just a few under 400 for his career right now, and if he continues his current barrage, he will demolish JJ Redick's Division I record 457 three-pointers made. Unfortunately, Bader is doing this all for a team that is severely struggling. The Golden Grizzlies opened the season with seven-straight losses, and their opening road slate against North Carolina, UCLA, Cal and Gonzaga didn't help.

Indiana 81, Oakland 54Tuesday's college basketball roundup: Indiana crushes Oakland--The Detroit News
Evan Gordon scored a season-high 26 points and had the crowd chanting his name in Indiana’s rout of Oakland tonight.
The senior guard added five rebounds and shot 10-for-12 from the field to help the Hoosiers improve to 8-2 with their second straight victory.
Troy Williams scored 13 points, Yogi Ferrell had 10 and Noah Vonleh finished with eight points and 10 rebounds as the Hoosiers shot 50% from the field. Indiana extended its nonconference home winning streak to 36.
Oakland (2-8) lost its 11th straight away from home. The Golden Grizzlies started 0-7 against a difficult schedule that included North Carolina, UCLA, California and Gonzaga. It won’t get easier. They next face No. 5 Michigan State on Saturday.
Gordon made his first eight shots, one shy of matching a school record, before Oakland center Corey Petros blocked a layup.
