7-2 after about a week plus a couple of days of consistent posting. I think we have another valuable angle for this game. Two teams trending in opposite directions dating back a few seasons actually. I was impressed with Fort Wayne last season but obviously they grabbed the headlines with a statement win over IU a month ago.
IPFW can score the rock. They have averaged 88 ppg this season. While I do concede that the ppg is skewed (due to 2 games vs. lower division opponents) it remains true that they are offensively efficient. Four starters average over 10ppg and against a poor defensive team, that spells trouble. Fort Wayne has also been solid on the defensive end of the court. They rely on tough team D to generate turnovers, to the tune of 9 per game. This squad also rebounds well @ 41 bounds per game. Let's factor in its high percentage shooting: 50.3%, 41.3% from 3-pt, and 73.7% FT. While they average a high number of turnovers per game at 14, they also create turnovers, by forcing 9 per game -- look for this to play a key role in this bet. Their schedule has contained some fairly easy victories but they have been tested against a variety of quality opponents like: the aforementioned Hoosiers, @ Notre Dame, @ Illinois St., and @ Arkansas. All of these reasons stack up to me to believe in a double digit victory tonight in Detroit.
Kenpom: 101RPI: 87
Detorit, on the other hand, is not so efficient. Shooting percentages are as follows: 44.4%, 34.4% from 3-pt, and just 61.9% FT. I don't like those stat lines vs. a capable defensive team. Additionally, Detroit is a turnover-prone team, giving it up 14 times per game. They like to play an up-tempo style offense and it could hurt them tonight if they are not extremely efficient in generating points. I just don't see the stars aligning for the Titans on this night.

Give me IPFW -9 @ Detroit. Prediction: 84-67 final score
