February 1, 201114 yr it would be nice to give those kids a sold out stadium! Unfortunately thats not realistic with the current attendance rates. It would be nice to see it at least half filled though

February 2, 201114 yr I bought my ticket for Saturday. I plan to bring as many people as possible. From Terry Pluto: Cleveland State's Gary Waters has a message for win-starved sports fans -- check out the Vikings http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/blog/index.ssf/2011/02/cleveland_states_gary_waters_h.html
February 2, 201114 yr ^ Butler has sold about 5K in pre sales alone. That game may be close to sold out, if not sold out. However, they still curtain off half of the arena. Valop had about 3K in pre sales, and i expect a big walk-up crowd if the weather permits. I will be there both games with people as well.
February 3, 201114 yr Even more PD coverage on the Vikes. I'm pumped to go to my first CSU games this week! http://www.cleveland.com/sports/csu/index.ssf/2011/02/cleveland_states_trevon_harmon.html

February 4, 201114 yr Cleveland State won! To watch live press conference http://www.horizonleague.org/live/1959
February 4, 201114 yr Even more PD coverage on the Vikes. I'm pumped to go to my first CSU games this week! http://www.cleveland.com/sports/csu/index.ssf/2011/02/cleveland_states_trevon_harmon.html Did you enjoy yourself? A great game to be at. Norris being Norris, shot blocks out the wazoo and even some high flying dunks. I will be going down Saturday for Butler as well...gotta win that one too.
February 4, 201114 yr so awesome. This Saturday I'm bringing a fresh crowd of newcomers...about 8-12 people.
February 4, 201114 yr Best ticket in town if you ask me. $15.00 and sat right behind Valpo's bench and saw a great game with major implications. Oh, and the players bucked up and gave maximum effort..unlike the team down a few blocks down prospect. Come on down Saturday all!!!
February 4, 201114 yr CSU is the headliner today on today's PD sports page with a huge color picture, game story, and Terry Pluto weigh in--and rightfully so. The hometown paper finally put the in front of OSU (including their win over Michigan last night ) and any Cavs chatter.
February 5, 201114 yr Don't forget to wear black. If you don't, be prepared to buy some black gear from the CSU Bookstore concessions. Say hi to Keith (me).
February 5, 201114 yr Don't forget to wear black. If you don't, be prepared to buy some black gear from the CSU Bookstore concessions. Say hi to Keith (me). Or be early and get a free shirt!
February 5, 201114 yr Game is completely sold out. We did not have tickets for the 15 people I brought. So we had to go to a nearby bar.
February 5, 201114 yr God d@mnit! I cant stand the feeling of losing, which I have to deal with in every sport every year. Hopefully these guys finish the season strong! Lets go 2011 Browns! Again Ill end up with the same feeling
February 6, 201114 yr Why couldn't they remove the curtain for more seating? There were a lot of people who couldn't get in today
February 6, 201114 yr ^ I think there are a lot of reasons, but probably the biggest one (as I understand it) is that the tickets sold through Ticketmaster and the CSU ticket office have to match up with the way the arena is laid out (section/row/seat/price, etc.) and you can't sell tickets for seats that "don't exist" based on how the arena is currently set up. Basically the seats behind the curtain "don't exist" in the system, at least for CSU basketball events. Hopefully, if they keep winning and drawing like this, they might drop the curtain permanently.
February 6, 201114 yr Dont worry about this game. Waters will have them re-focused. They are still in first place in the conference and control their own destiny. THey need to step and win Monday...GO VIKES..wish the sellout crowd had something to cheer about.
February 6, 201114 yr That was some truly awful officiating. I'm not trying to excuse poor offensive play on CSU's part-- we couldn't hit layups and everyone but Cole stood around-- but the refs were so bad it was distracting. At least one 5-point swing went Butler's way.
February 13, 201114 yr Norris Cole has an incredible game today: 41 points 20 rebounds 9 assists http://content.usatoday.com/communities/campusrivalry/post/2011/02/performance-of-the-year-cleveland-states-norris-cole-has-a-big-day/1
February 13, 201114 yr The next week will decide their fate. Win the next two..back on the bubble. lose the next two...dont even bother wacthing the final week...its all about the horizon league tourney and if Cole has the heart of a champion...he will have to do what he did today to get CSU through.
February 13, 201114 yr Seriously, 20 rebounds from a six ft. one inch point guard. The entire team had 41.
February 13, 201114 yr Unfortunately I think they will need to win the horizon tourney to get an invite. An at large isn't likely.
February 17, 201114 yr To watch the game http://www.horizonleague.org/live/1980 Edit: God they had it and are playing like shit at the end. Hopefully they get serious and put this thing away
February 17, 201114 yr Gutsy effort. That keeps them a full game up on Butler for second which is a big deal the way the HL Tourney is structured.
February 17, 201114 yr ^ actually! <b>Cleveland State tops Wright State, regains first place in Horizon League</b> FAIRBORN, Ohio -- Some of the fans came to see a Norris Cole party near his hometown of Dayton. They got a block party instead from another homeboy -- 6-9 junior Aaron Pogue, who lifted Cleveland State to a 74-72 victory over Wright State Wednesday night to regain first place in the Horizon League. With no WSU post player carrying more than 220 pounds the 265-pound Pogue had his way, scoring 13 of his career-high 18 points in the second half when the Vikings were keeping the Raiders at bay. He capped the game off with the night's pivotal play, sprinting back after a CSU turnover and blocking a Raiders shot that could have closed WSU within one with 3:27 left... http://www.cleveland.com/sports/csu/index.ssf/2011/02/cleveland_state_tops_wright_st.html
February 17, 201114 yr Guys, Valpo lost last night. Does this mean the Horizen League tournament could still be held in Cleveland if both teams win out in the league? Who holds the tiebreaker??
February 17, 201114 yr Heres the deal: If Valpo and CSU both win out...Valpo gets the tiebreaker most likely because we tied head to head, but the next best team (most likely Butler)...Valpo split with, while we lost both. Here are the other possible scenarios...Valpo has a VERY tough game left in Green Bay...that will be two days after a very tough bracketbuster for them. If they lose that, and we win out...we host the horizon tourney. If Butler somehow loses, and Milwaukee somehow gets the 3 seed...then we would hold the tiebreaker most likely for sweeping Milwaukee while Valop split. In my opinion, it comes down to one game next Monday night in Green Bay, that will hold Valpos fate. HOWEVER, its not that bad..the key in the Horizon is the 1 or 2 seed...because you get a double bye. That means the team would would play just played two games in the three previous days. Also, if Valpo were to lose, then the championship game goes to the highest remaining seed, which could be CSU. A TON is still possible in the last week. Hell, we could be in 3rd or 4th when its all said and done. Focus on one game at a time and try to get this win at Old Dominion...i dont think at-large is out of the question. I like our chances when norris Cole feels threatened he plays at a whole new level.
February 17, 201114 yr I just hope we dont end up playing Butler in the tournament. We dont match up with them
February 18, 201114 yr ^i think we are too good of a team to lose to them 3 times...just like in 2009...Waters will make adjustments. Thats a win I want.
February 18, 201114 yr Thanks. Not to mention, Butler will be playing in the first rounds while CSU rests.
February 22, 201114 yr Valpo -green bay game is going down to the wire. If valpo loses, CSU will most likely host the Verison League Tounament (first time ever?). Fingers crossed!!
February 22, 201114 yr First time they would have earned the right to host. Back when they rotated hosts and had one site throughout the tourney they had it at CSU (2002 I think). Butler is amazingly still in the running too. 12-5 to CSU's 12-4, but Butler has the head-to-head tie-breaker.
February 22, 201114 yr CSU in control of their own destiny. Win two home games thursday/saturday...host the tourney...that simple. Can Cleveland pack the house and bring the pain?
February 22, 201114 yr VALPO loses to Green Bay in OT!!!! Oh yeah... Cleveland State, learn from that loss at Old Dominion and finish strong.
