— Jason Calliste hit two free throws with 12 seconds left as Detroit rallied from 10 points down in the final 3 minutes to edge UW-Milwaukee, 58-57, on Friday.

Ray McCallum scored 18 points for the Titans (14-12,

8-6 Horizon League), who have won two in a row and five of six. Doug Anderson and Calliste added 12 each. Eli Holman grabbed 11 rebounds.

Tony Meier’s 17 points led the Panthers (15-11, 8-6), who have dropped their last three.

After Paris Gulley’s jumper put the Panthers ahead 53-43 with 2:54 left, Detroit used a

13-4 run keyed by six points from McCallum to cut it to

57-56 with 13 seconds to go.

-- UW-Green Bay 53, Wright State 48—At Dayton, Ohio, Alec Brown had 14 points and 10 rebounds as Green Bay held off Wright State.

After Vance Hall’s second free throw gave Wright State a 44-43 lead, a layup by Keifer Sykes, who finished with 13 points, pushed the Phoenix (10-13, 6-7 Horizon League) ahead for good with 4:05 remaining.

Brown added a layup and Green Bay went 6 of 6 from the free-throw line in the final 58 seconds.

With three blocks, Brown broke his own single-season record of 67 and now has 70.

The Phoenix, who have won three of their last four, also defeated the Raiders 57-56 on Jan. 14 after trailing by 17 late.
