LAST OUTING
Freshman sensation Paris Bass scored a career-high 28 points, but it wasn't enough as Metro Series rival Oakland was able to sneak out an 83-78 win over the University of Detroit Mercy men's basketball team on Sunday at the O'rena in front of a record crowd of 4,101.
 
Bass finished the game with 28 points on 9-of-14 shooting, while grabbing a team six rebounds and dishing out two assists. Junior Anton Wilson pitched in 11 points, while senior forward Juwan Howard Jr. added nine.
 
Detroit (12-16, 5-8 HL) led 67-64 with 5:38 left, before the Golden Grizzlies closed the game with a 19-11 run - including five-straight free throws - in the final minute to seal the win.
 
Oakland (13-14, 8-4 HL) led 46-33 at the half, before the Titans opened the second half with a 32-18 run – including a monster dunk from freshman Jaleel Hogan – to give Detroit a 65-64 lead with seven minutes remaining.

ABOUT GREEN BAY
After a defensive slugfest in the opening 20 minutes, visiting Green Bay (20-6, 9-3 HL) fell behind by as many as 15 points in the second half and saw its furious rally come up short in a 63-59 loss at Valparaiso (23-4, 10-2 HL) on Friday night.

Senior point guard Keifer Sykes who required stitches in the first half of Wednesday's win before hitting the game-winning shot, was limited on Friday night after suffering a hand injury in the first half. The reigning Horizon League Player of the Year had to watch much of the second half from the bench.

Carrington Love finished with 15 points to lead four Phoenix players in double figures. Junior Jordan Fouse added 11 points, eight rebounds and two steals, and seniors Greg Mays and Alfonzo McKinnie tallied 10 points each. Mays added five of Green Bay's 11 blocks and four assists.

SERIES WITH THE PHOENIX
