IU Indianapolis Preview
IU Indianapolis comes in at 3-6, still winless in true road games but fresh off an 85-80 win over Morehead State. Before that, the Jaguars dropped three straight, all in high-scoring affairs where the defense never quite settled in.
On the year, IU Indy is averaging a huge 91.6 points per game but giving up 96.2 points. The Jaguars shoot 46% from the floor, pull down 46 rebounds, and dish out an impressive 21.4 assists per game. Defensively, they add 3.4 blocks and a very active 11.1 steals per contest.
Detroit Mercy Preview
Detroit Mercy sits at 2-6, but they’re coming off a confidence-building 70-66 road win at Niagara. Prior to that, the Titans had dropped four of five, including tough road games at DePaul, Michigan State, and Toledo, so their record is a bit schedule-inflated.

This season, Detroit Mercy is scoring 72.4 points per game while allowing 81.8 points. The Titans are shooting 40% from the field, grabbing 38.3 rebounds, and recording 12.5 assists per outing. On defense, they contribute 2.4 blocks and 6.1 steals per game.
IU Indianapolis vs Detroit Mercy Pick
I’m backing Detroit Mercy at home. IU Indianapolis plays at a frantic pace and can absolutely fill it up, but their defense is a real concern, especially on the road. Detroit Mercy has faced a tougher schedule, and getting back on their home floor after a road win should help them settle into their offensive sets and control tempo a bit more.
Detroit Mercy is facing an IU Indianapolis team that wants to run and turn this into a track meet, but the Titans have the home edge and enough size on the glass to keep from getting overwhelmed. Look for Detroit Mercy to play great in this game and for their defense to bend to a certain point, but the Titans defense will be able to keep this game in control just enough for the offense to outpace the Jaguars and secure the win.
