Scores from January 20, 2018. Packed schedule today, with lots of great match ups.
Horizon League Action:
Detroit 86 Oakland 92. Detroit trailed by 21 at the half, and despite a late and futile rally, you never got the feeling that the Titans were going to win. Just an ugly performance. Oakland is a team that has lost three conference games already, so they are beatable, so I take no comfort in the late rally. OU is 5-3 in conference. Detroit is 2-6.
Northern Kentucky 77 Green Bay 65. NKU moves to 7-1 to at least stay in second place while GB falls to 3-7.
UIC 87 Cleveland State 80. Nice road win for the Flames who only got a combined two field goals from Dixson and Ottey.
IUPUI 62 Youngstown State 85. Penguins move to 4-4 as the Jags drop to 4-5.
Wright State 61 Milwaukee 66. The Panthers get the home win and the Raiders fall into a tie with NKU.
