What to Know

The Cleveland State Vikings and the Wright State Raiders are set to clash at 7 p.m. ET March 7 at Indiana Farmers Coliseum in the third round of the Horizon Conference Tourney. The Vikings will be hoping to build upon the 71-67 win they picked up against Wright State when they previously played in January.

Cleveland State earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing this past Thursday. They captured a comfortable 83-67 victory over the Robert Morris Colonials. Cleveland State can attribute much of their success to guard Torrey Patton, who had 25 points in addition to six boards.

Meanwhile, the Oakland Golden Grizzlies typically have all the answers at home, but this past Thursday Wright State proved too difficult a challenge. Wright State strolled past the Golden Grizzlies with points to spare, taking the contest 75-63. Four players on the Raiders scored in the double digits: guard Tanner Holden (27), forward Grant Basile (18), guard Trey Calvin (16), and guard Andrew Welage (11). That makes it three consecutive games in which Grant Basile has had at least 11 rebounds.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Vikings are expected to win a tight contest Monday. They covered a 12-point spread this past Thursday, so bettors might be thinking that will translate to further success against a lower spread.

A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Cleveland State ranks 25th in college basketball when it comes to steals per game, with 8.6 on average. Less enviably, the Raiders have allowed their opponents an average of 7.3 steals per game, the 47th most in college basketball. In other words, they will need to work extra hard to take care of the ball.
