News On The Horizon 2/25/2022

Dennis Gates, head coach, Cleveland State. The 42-year-old Gates was a hot commodity heading into last year’s carousel, and he’ll be that much hotter with his Vikings atop the Horizon League standings. Gates is only in his third season as a head coach, but he was named the league’s coach of the year in his first two, and last year he led Cleveland State to the third NCAA Tournament in its history and its first in 12 years. Gates’ case also is bolstered by his extensive experience at the high-major level during previous stints as an assistant at Cal, Marquette, and most extensively at Florida State. There is zero doubt that he is ready for a Power 6 job.

NKU KEEPS THE WINNING GOING

The Norse women got things started Thursday night with a 66-62 win over Oakland that gives 19-7 NKU its 13th Horizon win, most ever since joining the league. They’ll get a chance to add to their 13-6 league mark in the regular-season finale against Detroit Mercy at 2 p.m. at BB&T.

Then came the men, who are finishing in a rush with a 78-64 revenge win over Robert Morris thanks to Marques Warrick’s career-high-tying 30 points although the real story for NKU this last month in winning 11 of their last 13 has been a defense that’s holding opponents to just over 62 points a game, best in the league. Win Saturday (7 p.m. at BB&T) against Youngstown State and NKU (17-11, 13-6), now third in the league, earns a first-round bye in next week’s postseason tournament.
