Matchup Breakdown

Cleveland State Outlook

Cleveland State averages 79.0 points per game, with Dayan Nessah, Tre Beard, and Preist Ryan leading the offense. Nessah’s 16 points vs Oakland highlighted his consistency, while Beard adds 13.6 ppg. Their three-point shooting (57th nationally) and effective field goal percentage (52.7%) underscore offensive efficiency. Their 0-9 road record shows struggles, though individual performances provide sparks. Their ability to hit perimeter shots remains their best chance to compete.

Detroit Outlook

Detroit averages 76.1 points per game, with Legend Geeter, Orlando Lovejoy, and TJ Nadeau providing scoring depth. Geeter’s perfect 8-for-8 shooting vs Wright State highlighted his efficiency, while Lovejoy’s 13 points added balance. Their rebounding (38.7 per game, 99th nationally) and free-throw attempts (16.7 per game, 103rd nationally) provide consistency. Their 6-9 overall record and 3-3 home mark underscore competitiveness at Calihan Hall.

Key Matchup / Path to Victory

The game hinges on Cleveland State’s ability to maintain perimeter shooting and offensive efficiency, while Detroit must lean on rebounding and free-throw opportunities to pace the attack. If Detroit controls tempo and boards, their depth should create separation. Cleveland State’s hopes rest on three-point shooting and defensive resilience to keep the game close.
