The Cleveland State Vikings and the Fort Wayne Mastodons meet Friday in college basketball action from Gates Sports Center. 

Cleveland State enters this one at 15-6 so far. The Vikings are 1-1 in their last pair and coming off a win over Detroit Mercy. As for Fort Wayne, they’re 6-13 this year. The Mastodons have lost their last eight straight games, most recently to Youngstown State. Check back all season long for free college basketball picks at Sports Chat Place. 

Cleveland State kicked off their year with three straight losses, but then went on a nice nine-game win streak. After going 1-2 in their next three, the Vikings took four straight wins over Green Bay and Oakland before a split pair with Detroit. 

In the 71-64 win over Detroit on Saturday, Cleveland State’s Alec Oglesby and Torrey Patton each notched 15 points, combining for four assists and nine rebounds as well. Craig Beaudion chipped in with 10 points, two rebounds and two assists as well. 

Over on the Fort Wayne side, they stumbled out of the gate at 2-5 before rattling off four straight wins over UCI and Milwaukee. Since then the Mastodons are winless, though. They’ve fallen to Green Bay, Oakland, Detroit and Youngstown State in their last eight. 

In the 72-70 loss to Youngstown State on Saturday, Fort Wayne’s Jarred Godfrey led the way on 17 points with six assists and three rebounds. Jalon Pipkins added 16 points with seven rebounds and five assists, and Bobby Planutis chipped in 15 points. 

The Mastodons are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games and 1-7 ATS in their last eight overall. The Mastodons are 0-4 ATS in their last four Friday games and 1-6 ATS in their last seven after a straight-up loss. 

Meanwhile, the Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games and 5-1 ATS in their last six Friday games. Cleveland State is 5-1 ATS in their last six overall and the over is 6-1 in their last seven overall. 

PICK: I’m going to stick with Cleveland State. These teams have met before this year, but the pair of games was way back on December 19 and 20. The Vikings won both of those 63-61 and 89-80. Cleveland State is in a pretty good groove over their last six games, and if they can keep up with the solid scoring totals I like them on a cover in this one.
