Horizon

(8) Cleveland State vs. (9) Youngstown State - 8:30 p.m. EST on ESPN 3 (47% chance of winning)

PENGUINSZN!!! Last year, the Youngstown State Penguins captured the hearts of millions when they defeated Cleveland State and No. 1 seed Oakland in a string of huge Horizon League upsets. This helped the Northern Kentucky Norse advance to the NCAA Tournament and earned the Penguins eternal gratitude in the NMTC.

This year, Youngstown State is even worse by KenPom metrics than last season, but will once again face Cleveland State in the 8/9 game. I don’t watch much Horizon League, but this game seems like a total tossup. The Penguins have been there before, so you’d better watch out.

AND PENGUINSZN IS BACK!

[shuffles notes]

Uh, was back.

This game was eternally depressing. Youngstown State and Cleveland State went back and forth and were tied with less than two minutes remaining. I’m pretty sure NMTC teams are 0-547 in this scenario, so of course the Penguins missed a potential game-winning shot at the end of regulation. Better luck next year.
