The top two seeds in the Horizon League will meet in the Championship game on Tuesday as Butler hosts Cleveland State. Mike Green led Butler in their rout of Illinois-Chicago on Saturday as he scored 19 points. Pete Campbell had 15 points while A.J. Graves added 14 points. Last year the Bulldogs lost to Wright State in the conference title game. SBG Global reports that early NCAA Basketball betting has the public taking Cleveland State on the Road

Cedric Jackson and J’Nathan Bullock combined to score 41 points to lead Cleveland State past Valparaiso, 78-73 on Saturday night in the other semifinal game. This is the first time in Cleveland State’s history that they will be playing the Horizon League Championship game. The Vikings led Valpo by as many as 18 points but blew that lead and had to get some late game magic to win. "Both teams wanted this game real bad, but as I told everybody last week, we are a team on a mission right now and these guys weren't going to let it end in the semifinals," Cleveland State head coach Gary Waters said. Cleveland State will need another huge game out of Jackson and Bullock if they are to upset 11th ranked Butler on Tuesday.
