Midwest Spotlight Game: Michael Akuchie vs. Detroit

You might not think about the Penguins much — they’ve never been to the Big Dance, after all — but there’s some impressive stuff happening under the radar in Youngstown. Take for example Akuchie’s career-high 34 points in a win over Detroit, which capped a six-game win streak. Thanks in large part to the fifth-year senior, the Penguins have weathered transfers and injuries to earn themselves 11 league wins, their highest-ever total in the Horizon. An improved offense is the easy explanation, with the team’s effective field goal ranking jumping up 100 spots from last season.
