Wright State vs Cleveland State Prediction
Wright State seems to be getting the benefit of the doubt at home, where nine of its 13 wins have come. It’s also senior night. I get it. However, Wright State isn’t a good team that’s three games below a .500 record and has lost three straight games. Cleveland State is the better team no matter how you slice it and beat Wright State by 14 points back in December. Cleveland State has seven road wins, so the Nutter Center isn’t going to be intimidating. We’re getting the better team and free points. Those are spots that are hard to turn down. Give me Cleveland State.
