Juwan Howard Jr. Hits Game-Winner; Detroit Titans Upsets Cleveland State, 66-65 [VIDEO]
DETROIT (AP) — Juwan Howard Jr. scored 23 points, including the game-winning 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds left, to give Detroit a 66-65 upset win over Cleveland State on Friday.
Cleveland State (15-11, 9-3 Horizon) fell one game back of first-place Valparaiso, which beat Green Bay (20-6, 9-3) earlier in the night. Detroit is 12-15, 5-7.
Howard's 3 from the wing was well beyond the arc. Charlie Lee went the length of the floor but his layup rimmed out at the buzzer.
