Cleveland State Vikings

The Cleveland State Vikings enter Monday night’s action with a record of 10-8 overall and 5-2 in conference play. They have won two straight games coming into this contest, having beaten Green Bay and IUPUI consecutively. Here, the Vikings will see their level of competition get tougher again, as they face IPFW in Fort Wayne.

After a rocky non-conference schedule, this team has shown a ton of toughness in the first half of conference action. They went to overtime with Milwaukee and have only truly been out of one game, that being a double-digit loss to Youngstown State. With a balanced scoring attack, Cleveland State will likely continue to be a tough out in this contest.

Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons

Purdue Fort Wayne comes into this game having won their last outing as well. They beat up on lowly IUPUI in their last game, scoring a 15-point victory in that matchup. Here, the Mastodons have a golden opportunity to move ahead of Cleveland State in the Horizon League standings with a win on their home floor.

IPFW has been a mercurial team this season in the Horizon League, making it really difficult to get a handle on how they are going to play before each game. They got a quality road win against Youngstown State, holding their lethal offense to 71 points. But they also have some bad losses in league play as well, and will need to find some consistency in home games like this one if they want to be a threat later in the season in this conference.
