Detroit Mercy Tops Robert Morris 70-64 in Horizon League Semifinal, Will Play Wright State for Title

Orlando Lovejoy scored 21 points and Lance Stone added 16 off the bench to lead Detroit Mercy past defending champions Robert Morris 70-64 in the Horizon League semifinal.

  • On Monday at Corteva Coliseum in Indianapolis, Detroit Mercy defeated Robert Morris 70-64 in a Horizon League semifinal to advance to the conference final.
  • With an NCAA berth on the line, Detroit Mercy is two wins from its first NCAA tournament since the 2011-12 season, as the Horizon League is expected to get only one bid.
  • A second-half 37-28 edge featured Orlando Lovejoy leading Detroit Mercy with 21 points and six assists, reserve Lance Stone scoring 16, and Tyler Spratt and Legend Geeter adding 10 and nine points respectively.
  • The final is set for Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, with UDM to face Northern Kentucky after winning Monday's semifinal.
  • Earlier this year, Detroit Mercy's rapid turnaround is notable because they are just two seasons removed from a 1-31 campaign, despite losing to Robert Morris on February 25.
