Cleveland St -2.5 (-110)

9:30PM: Cleveland St started the Horizon league season with a loss and then rattled off 11 wins in a row. Since that hot start, they finished the season 3-5 and getting the 2 seed. Youngstown St is very similar to Cleveland St, finishing the Horizon league at 13-7, only 1 game behind them. Cleveland St has the better defense between these 2 teams and their offenses are very similar but Cleveland St plays at a slower tempo. If Cleveland St can play the defense they are capable of, they can slow down Youngstown and win this game to advance to the championship game.
