Eastern Michigan vs Detroit Mercy Prediction

Eastern Michigan has the better frontcourt and rebounding numbers, but Detroit Mercy’s guards control pace more consistently at home. If Lovejoy dictates tempo and Nadeau gets decent looks from outside, the Titans will generate enough offense to offset Eastern Michigan’s advantage on the glass. With both teams struggling defensively, expect scoring to be high, but Detroit Mercy’s home floor and guard play give the win. Final Score Prediction: Detroit Mercy 79, Eastern Michigan 74.
