Youngstown State (20-6, 12-3) at Cleveland State (15-11, 10-5) – 1:00 PM ET (ESPN+)
Today’s UTR Game of the Day heads up to the shores of Lake Erie where the Cleveland State Vikings will host the Youngstown State Penguins in a Horizon League matchup. For a school that has actually won football national championships at what was the I-AA level, Penguin Fever is finally spreading to the hardwood this season as YSU is a serious contender for their first Horizon League championship. The Penguins have won 10 out of their last 11 games that includes a sold-out home win against Oakland in front of a national ESPNU audience. Former Dayton player Dwayne Cohill leads YSU with 18.1 points a game and 4.9 assists per game.
While Cleveland State did have a winless trip to the Michigan schools in league play, outside of that they have won 10 out of their other 13 league contests. In their last game, Dante Johnson hit a game-winning layup at the buzzer to give the Vikings a 57-55 win at home against Robert Morris. But today is about revenge – Cleveland State lost at Youngstown State 85-71 earlier in the season.
