#690 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Cleveland State -7.5 over East Tennessee State, Wednesday at 7 PM ET - Love this spot for the host CSU.  The Vikings are coming off a road loss @ Eastern Michigan as a 7 point favorite.  They should be extra motivated after that loss.  They are facing an ETSU team that is off an upset win at home over Davidson (70-68 as a 6.5 point dog) which makes this a perfect set up for the home team.  ETSU battled back from a 10 point deficit in that game to win by 2 points.  The Bucs are 2-2 on the season but they’ve lost both of their road games @ Elon (ETSU was a favorite) and then getting smoked at Butler.  This is an ESTU team that had a 12-20 record last season and is learning the ropes under a new head coach Brooks Savage who has never been a head coach and came over from Wake Forest where he was an assistant.  Four of their five starters are transfers and they only return 34% of their minutes for last season.  Cleveland State finished 21-14 last season and they are one of the favorites in the Horizon this season.  We currently have them power rated as the 2nd best team in the league behind only Wright State.  They return 3 starters and almost 60% of their minutes from last year.  CSU’s 2 losses have come on the road and they are 3-0 at home and they’ve won 30 of their last 35 games at home.  The Vikings have better efficiency numbers on both ends of the court and they finished 2nd in the Horizon last year with a 14-6 SU record.  CSU is a solid program with a record of 55-33 last 3+ seasons and we’re getting them at home off a loss. We expect a double digit win for the Vikings on Wednesday.
