The Detroit Mercy Titans are set to visit Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, South Carolina for a non-conference clash against the Clemson Tigers. The Detroit Mercy Titans come into this matchup with a 0-1 record, and they will be looking to rebound after dropping their recent road game against the NC State Wolfpack, 84-65. Leading the way for the Detroit Mercy Titans was sophomore guard Antoine Davis as he recorded 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists. Sophomore forward Boe Nguidjol had a solid game off the bench for the Titans as he pitched in 6 points and 9 rebounds.

The Detroit Mercy Titans struggled shooting the ball against the NC State Wolfpack as they connected on 24 of their 60 field goal attempts (40%), and they were significantly worse from behind the three-point line (20%). The Detroit Mercy Titans lost the turnover battle against the NC State Wolfpack (15-11), but they edged out the Wolfpack in the rebounding department (40-33).

The Clemson Tigers come into this matchup with a 2-1 record, and they will be looking to continue their success after winning their recent home game against the Colgate Raiders, 81-68. Leading the way for the Clemson Tigers was senior guard Tevin Mack as he fell just shy of a double-double with 17 points and 9 rebounds. Freshman guard Al-Amir Dawes had a productive game for the Tigers as he pitched in 16 points and 4 assists.

The Clemson Tigers had a good shooting game against the Colgate Raiders as they connected on 31 of their 60 field goal attempts (51.7%), but they were significantly worse from behind the three-point line (30%). The Clemson Tigers won the turnover battle against the Colgate Raiders (18-12), and they edged out the Raiders in the rebounding department (36-27).

The Clemson Tigers have been solid on the defensive side of the court through their first three games as they are holding their opponents to an average of 60 PPG, and that will cause problems for Detroit Mercy as they were held to 65 points in their lone game of the season. The Tigers received the services of Alabama transfer Tevin Mack this offseason and he is currently the scoring leader, but Clemson has a ton of scoring depth as they have 4 different guys averaging at least 10 PPG. Detroit Mercy has one of the better guards in the country with Antoine Davis, but he is surrounded by little talent and Clemson will be sure to dedicate their resources to the sophomore. Final Score Prediction, Clemson Tigers win and cover ATS 79-55.
