ON TAP
Detroit battles Green Bay on Sunday, a team it handled 79-56 at Calihan Hall on Dec. 30.  The Titans dropped a 72-67 decision at Milwaukee on Friday night, letting a late lead slip away and allowing the Panthers to leapfrog them in the standings.  UDM and Green Bay are tied for sixth in the Horizon League ledger as the teams begin the second half of conference play.

ABOUT GREEN BAY
The Phoenix hold identical 11-11 overall and 5-5 league marks heading into Sunday's matchup.   Green Bay has been playing solid basketball of late, with a 5-3 record after the turn of the calendar year. However, a good effort on Friday night was wasted when Wright State scored the final eight points of the game to turn a six-point deficit into a 63-61 win and end Green Bay's five-game home winning streak.

LAST MEETING
Five Titans scored in double figures as host Detroit cruised to a 79-56 Horizon League win at Calihan Hall on Dec. 30.  Detroit shot 57.8 percent from the floor and was led by 17-point efforts from both Ray McCallum and Chase SimonEli Holman added his seventh double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds.   Green Bay was led by Jarvis Williams and Rahmon Fletcher, who scored 15 points apiece.

WHAT'S NEXT?
Detroit heads home for a quick three-game homestand, beginning on Feb. 3.  The Titans host UIC on Thursday, the first of three games in five days.  The opener will be aired on FOX Sports Detroit and Saturday's tilt with Loyola is the televised Horizon League Game of the Week .  The stretch concludes Monday night when Cleveland State visits Calihan Hall.

BRACKETBUSTER ANNOUNCED MONDAY
The lone non-conference game on Detroit's schedule is the BracketBuster game slated for Feb. 19.  On Monday evening, ESPN will make the announcements for the 57 games involving 114 mid-major teams with 11 of those games televised on the ESPN family of networks.  

ELI MOVES UP TO EIGHTH IN BOARDS
Junior center Eli Holman-- after two impressive rebounding games last week-- has returned to the nations top 10 in rebounding, ranking eighth in the most-recent release (Jan. 24).  Holman grabbed a season-high 16 boards in the win at Youngstown State Saturday and has 14 games with double-digit rebounding total.  He surpassed the 500 mark in his career (495 as a Titan) at Youngstown Saturday.

CENTURY BLOCK
Junior LaMarcus Lowe blocked four shots Friday at Milwaukee, catapulting him over 100 for his career.  Lowe now has 54 blocks on the year and has 13 games with multiple rejections this season.   Lowe's 2010-11 block total already ranks just outside the top 10 all-time at Detroit for a single season.
