HORIZON LEAGUE: DETROIT MERCY - A 2-0 start for the Titans? Preposterous! Incredible effort last week by this group to get the job done over tricky IU Indy, and then a double-digit road win at Cleveland State. TJ Nadeau overcame a tough league opener to become the star of the show in Cleveland - 26 points on just 14 shot attempts. And Ayden Carter was the go to guy vs. the Jags, scoring 21 and snatching three steals. Lets see if these Titans can make it 3-0 this Sunday at Purdue Fort Wayne.

Ayden Carter and the Detroit Mercy Titans came prepared for Horizon League play and became the story of the league last week going 2-0.
