The set-up: Cleveland State won only 11 games last year, but with most of its players returning, the Vikings are going to take a step forward this season. This is a revenge game as well, as Toledo won this game on the road 80-65. The ROckets have lost two of their first three, including a three-point loss to Xavier.

The pick: I think Toledo is the better overall team in this matchup, but the situation favors Cleveland State. I think Toledo is still mentally hung up on the Xavier loss, while Cleveland State is not getting enough respect from the oddsmakers in my estimation considering the players that are returning. No outright, but much closer than this spread would suggest.

This is an 8* PLAY-BOOK on Cleveland State.
