Cleveland State (16-6, 10-1) at Purdue-Fort Wayne (15-7, 8-3) – 9:00 PM ET (ESPNU)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day goes to Fort Wayne, Indiana for a battle between Horizon League contenders Cleveland State and the hometown PFW Mastodons. The Vikings of Cleveland State are on fire right now with a 12-game winning streak overall and are now two games ahead of both Fort Wayne and Milwaukee in the Horizon League standings. Chase Robinson had 21 points for Cleveland State in their 81-66 win against cellar-dweller Green Bay.
After a tough loss against Northern Kentucky to begin the month, the Mastodons have won five of their last six games to vault themselves into second place; only a loss at Oakland in that period has prevented them from outright second place and a potential game for a first-place tie. Following tonight, the Mastodons travel to Milwaukee – they can either entrench themselves further up the standings or make a bigger chasm for Cleveland State and the rest of the league.
