Milwaukee Panthers
The Milwaukee Panthers enter Thursday night’s action at 9-5 on the season, and 3-1 in Horizon League play. They have made the most of a favorable schedule in the league so far, having played four games, all against teams in the bottom-five in the conference standings. Here, they face a tougher test and a nice litmus test early in conference play.
Milwaukee will need to continue rebounding by committee if they are going to win this game in Cleveland. They do not have a player averaging five rebounds per game this season, which could cause problems down the road against teams with more size.
Cleveland State Vikings
Cleveland State is 8-7 so far this season, and they are also 3-1 in conference play. They have played a slightly tougher schedule than Milwaukee in the Horizon League, having already played Robert Morris and Youngstown State. Here, they look to pass their biggest test of the conference season so far.
The play of Tristan Enaruna will likely decide the outcome of this contest for the Vikings. He leads the team in scoring and rebounding, and the 6’8″ junior has scored 18 points in consecutive games against conference foes. Another big game from Enaruna could help the Vikings move to 4-1 in conference play.
