Detroit Mercy Titans Ride Tournament Momentum
Detroit Mercy enters the Horizon League Championship with a 17-14 overall record and a 12-8 mark in conference play. The Titans advanced to the final after recently winning over Robert Morris 70-64 in the semifinal. Over their last five games they have recently won over Robert Morris, recently won over Milwaukee, recently won over Oakland, recently lost to Robert Morris, and recently won over Green Bay, showing solid momentum heading into this championship matchup.
On the season, Detroit Mercy averages 77.9 points per game while allowing 77.7 points per contest. The Titans shoot 45% from the field, collect 37.7 rebounds per game, and average 13.2 assists per contest. Defensively they contribute 5.9 steals and 3.3 blocks per game, and their rebounding ability has helped them remain competitive in games where scoring slows down.
In the semifinal victory over Robert Morris, Orlando Lovejoy led Detroit Mercy with 21 points, including an impressive 11-of-12 performance at the free throw line. Legend Geeter controlled the glass with 10 rebounds, helping the Titans secure second chances and close out the game. One key tournament factor for Detroit Mercy has been their ability to limit turnovers and win the rebounding battle, as they committed only 8 turnovers and outrebounded Robert Morris 34-32, which could be critical in a championship environment. 
Wright State Raiders Bring Explosive Offense
Wright State enters the championship game with a 22-11 overall record and a 15-5 Horizon League mark, finishing near the top of the conference standings before making their tournament run. The Raiders advanced to the final after recently winning over Northern Kentucky 103-90 in the semifinal. In their last five games they have recently won over Northern Kentucky, recently won over Cleveland State, recently won over Northern Kentucky, recently won over Purdue Fort Wayne, and recently lost to Robert Morris, showing strong offensive form entering the title game.
The Raiders average 80.5 points per game while allowing 73.8 points per contest this season. Wright State shoots an impressive 49% from the field, collects 35.4 rebounds per game, and averages 13.8 assists per contest. Defensively they generate 7.4 steals and 4.3 blocks per game, which helps create transition scoring opportunities.
In their semifinal victory, Michael Cooper led Wright State with 25 points, shooting an efficient 8-of-13 from the field while also contributing playmaking. Michael Imariagbe dominated the boards with 10 rebounds, anchoring the interior presence for the Raiders. One of the biggest tournament takeaways from that game was Wright State’s elite offensive efficiency, as the Raiders shot 56% from the field and 43% from three-point range, showing the kind of scoring capability that can overwhelm opponents.
Detroit Mercy Titans vs Wright State Raiders Pick
Detroit Mercy Titans vs Wright State Raiders Spread Pick
- Pick: Wright State Raiders - Spread
Wright State enters the championship game with the more consistent offense and a clear scoring advantage. The Raiders just posted over 100 points in the semifinal and have shown the ability to shoot efficiently both inside and from beyond the arc. While Detroit Mercy has strong rebounding and tournament momentum, Wright State’s offensive balance and scoring depth should allow them to control the pace and gradually pull away.

Detroit Mercy Titans vs Wright State Raiders Total Pick
- Pick: Over
I like the over in this matchup because both teams have proven they can score efficiently. Wright State plays at a faster tempo and just demonstrated their offensive ceiling with a 103-point performance, while Detroit Mercy averages nearly 78 points per game themselves. With championship stakes and two offenses capable of scoring in bunches, I expect a high-scoring contest.
Final Score Prediction: Wright State Raiders 88, Detroit Mercy Titans 78
