Not sure what the deal was on the weekend with Cleveland State, which got involved in an unexpected grinder in the CBI first round vs. Northern Colorado. Still, the Vikings have a sharp-edged threat in 6-8 Dutch F Tristan Enaruna (19.9 ppg), who scored 22 vs. the Bears, and were "over" their previous three before hitting Daytona Beach. Meanwhile, HPU, which was waved thru to the CBI quarterfinals, has been anxious to get back in action since a bitter Big South semis loss at home to NC-Asheville, but the Panthers were a reliable "over" (13-6 last 19) since New Year's with their lively 84.2 ppg offense led by Troy transfer G Duke Miles (17.6 ppg). Play HPU-CSU "Over" (CBI at Daytona Beach)

High Point is the lone team to have received a bye in the CBI, which could put the Panthers at a disadvantage. They last suited up on March 9 and will be rusty. Cleveland State won a low-paced game Sunday in which not much energy was expended and got accustomed to the unfamiliar arena. Minutes were evenly distributed through their main rotation of seven players. The Vikings' last loss was impressive in hindsight -- a three-pointer to Oakland, which shined in the NCAA Tournament.
