Jalen Jackson finished with 15 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two steals.
The 'Dons totaled 52 points in the paint, 26 points off turnovers and 25 fast break points. The paint and fast break point totals are season highs against a Division I program.

The Titans were led by Edoardo Del Cadia's 16 points. Detroit Mercy falls to 0-15 (0-4 Horizon League).
