Knotted in second place in the Horizon League with identical 6-2 records, Wright State and Cleveland State hit the halfway point of the conference season in the Horizon League Game of the Week on Saturday at 2 p.m. ET. The syndicated game is available in all 10 Horizon League television markets along with Kansas City, Mo., and Lincoln, Neb.
Cleveland State (17-3, 6-2 Horizon) picked up its second straight League victory by outlasting Detroit, 81-69, on Thursday. Senior Norris Cole had one of his finest overall games of the season against the Titans, scoring 18 points and dishing out a career-high 11 assists, helping Trevon Harmon finish with a game-high 22 points.
The Vikings are trying to keep alive its at-large hopes for the NCAA Tournament, holding a RPI rating of 34 through Jan. 20. The Raiders broke into the RPI top 100 after a come-from-behind 66-62 win at Youngstown State.
Wright State (13-7, 6-2 Horizon) used an 18-4 run to overcome a 10-point deficit with under seven minutes to play. Despite shooting 32 percent from the floor, one of the nation's stingiest defenses managed to hold Youngstown State to a 2-for-9 shooting effort down the stretch, enabling the comeback. Led by seniors Vaughn Duggins and N'Gai Evans, the Raiders have flipped the script on those who picked the team to finish sixth in the preseason poll, averaging a combined 30.3 ppg.
