Result:
WIN

These two teams split this season, with Detroit upsetting Wisconsin Milwaukee on their home court in a game in which they were 10.5 point underdogs. They're defense is great and frustrated Wisconsin Milwaukee's high-powered offense, holding them to their lowest point total of the season (a full 14 points below their season average). Detroit's been playing in very low-scoring contests while Wisconsin Milwaukee has been lighting it up in high-scoring games. Road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off 3 straight low-scoring games where both teams scored 70 points or less facing an opponent off a high-scoring game in which 155+ points were scored are 40-13 (76%) over the last 5 seasons. Detroit is a very good defensive basketball team, as they have consistently outrebounded their opponents this season, and hold their opponents well below 50% from the field. If their is a weakness it is at the perimeter where they have been known to give up threes in bundles. This game will come down to that. If Detroit is strong on the perimeter, they will easily cover this game. Two stars on Detroit.
