NKU 95 Detroit 73

[ManOfTroy]

Norse with a nice bounce-back win over Detroit, who had beaten Wright State by 21. Detroit HC Mike Davis' son Antoine is the second leading scorer in the nation and had 48 against WSU. He had 33 today but the Norse (I thought) played pretty good defense on him. The kid can play and is in the zone right now. He hit 10 threes the other night and was 13-24 overall today, 3-9 on threes.

 

The Titans play nothing but 2-3 zone and the Norse shredded it. NKU hits 12-27 threes and had 23 assists. It was 34-34 late in the first half. A small run put NKU up 7 at half and a big run to open the second half put them up 20. They led by as many as 28 in the blowout win.

 

Six Norse in double figures:

McDonald had 23 pts, 5 reb

Sharpe had 20 pts on 5-11 threes

Walton 13 pts, 3 ast

Robinson 12 pts, 4 ast

Tate 11 pts, 8 ast, 7 rebs, 3 blk, 2 stl

Faulkner 10 pts, and guarded Davis a majority of the time
