VALPO 75, Wright State 73 FOT

With Wright State losing to Valpo, Cleveland State can become the No.2 seed with a win against YSU tonight...

CSU BEATS YSU, 65-58!!! VIKINGS WIN SECOND SEED IN HL TOURNEY!!!!

What an incredible season for CSU from 20 loses last year to 20 wins this year...

B-Ball, Butler is most likely going to win the tournament because the Horizon gives the top two seeds a bye into the semi-finals and the top seeds gets home field advantage throughout the tournament.

Right now, no HL team has beaten Butler at home. CSU and Wright State are capable of beating Butler in Butler, but their chances of winning the tournament probably depend on who gets the no.2 seed and the automatic bye into the semi-finals.
