The Horizon League tournament gets underway on Tuesday, and Cleveland State, which tied for first place in the regular season, is seeded third. It will be hosting University of Illinois Chicago in a game that starts at 7 p.m.
The top two seeds are Milwaukee and Butler, which is extremely important because it earns them byes through the first two rounds. Which is a pretty excellent advantage for teams that were tied with Cleveland State in the regular season.
The other first round games are (6) Wright State vs. (7) Wisconsin-Green Bay, (4) Valparaiso vs. (10) Youngstown State and (5) Detroit vs. (8) Loyola. If they advance, Cleveland State will face the winner of the WSU-Green Bay game in the second round, while the winners of the other two teams will face each other.
