Cleveland State vs Wright State Game Preview, Horizon League Tournament
Why Cleveland State Will Win
The Vikings have struggled a bit lately, but they’re used to working on the road with five straight away from home before rolling Robert Morris.

Free throws will be a problem for the Vikings – it’ll let Wright State take too many – but they’ll be just a wee bit better defensively late to survive.
