For a team that doesn't score well, I find it hard to believe that Youngstown State are good enough to keep pace with Cleveland State who also boast the better defense. Cleveland State are 0-2 on the road losing to EMU and Duquesne but this game vs a same conference opponent is to stay on top of the conference standings where they ended 2nd to Green Bay last season and need to keep momentum vs these inferior teams in conference. Youngstown need this win so I expect them to give their all here, but the Vikings should at the very LEAST, keep this game close knowing what it means to their season long term. I'll take the points with them here, and if we do that we can pair it with the Under because them winning just means they kept Youngstown in check defensively from beyond the arc (Youngstown shoot 26 per game) while playing a methodical scheme of beating the home team up in the paint. Both teams trend Under too but it's the dangerous side of the bet if Youngstown turns this into a track meet

Official Play: Cleveland State +2.5
