Cleveland State vs High Point Betting Prediction

High Point comes into this game as the #1 seed in the CBI and they were able to get a bye through the first round, while Cleveland State barely got by Northern Colorado on Sunday. High Point will have the rest advantage, but I think Cleveland State will have a big advantage because they played yesterday. High Point hasn’t played since March 9th, which is a very long layoff for a basketball team. High Point does have a very strong offensive attack, as they are scoring over 84 points per game, but I think I am going to go with Cleveland State here. The Vikings have played very well recently and nearly beat Oakland in the Horizon Tournament. Take Cleveland State in this game. The winner of this game will take on Arkansas State or Montana in the next game.
