What to Know

The Green Bay Phoenix haven't won a contest against the Cleveland State Vikings since Feb. 29 of 2020, but they'll be looking to end the drought Thursday. Green Bay and Cleveland State will face off in a Horizon League battle at 9 p.m. ET at Kress Events Center. The Vikings will be strutting in after a win while Green Bay will be stumbling in from a loss.

Green Bay found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 95-65 punch to the gut against the Youngstown State Penguins on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Northern Kentucky Norse typically have all the answers at home, but on Sunday Cleveland State proved too difficult a challenge. Cleveland State escaped with a win by the margin of a single free throw, 64-63.

The Phoenix are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 7-21 ATS when expected to lose.

Green Bay is now 3-26 while Cleveland State sits at 18-11. Cleveland State is 12-5 after wins this year, and Green Bay is 3-22 after losses.
