CLEVELAND (AP) – LeBron James didn’t deflate all the basketballs before going south.
While the Cavaliers have fallen out of NBA championship contention after losing their superstar this summer, there’s another Cleveland team thriving – with a real chance of capturing this city’s hungry-for-a-title fans.
Unbeaten and unheralded, Cleveland State has the nation’s best record. At 11-0, coach Gary Waters’ team has star guard Norris Cole, experience, depth and confidence. The Vikings, who could soon crack the AP Top 25 poll, just might be good enough to follow fellow Horizon League member, Butler, by making a deep run in the NCAA tournament.
Cleveland State plays at Sam Houston State on Saturday.
