How about catching a game between two state Division I men’s teams for $11.50 a ticket? The Panthers host UW-Green Bay on Dec. 29 to open their Horizon League schedule.

After a road-heavy non-conference schedule for much of December, the team plays much of January and the second half of February at the arena that bears its name.

The Panthers, who have won at least 20 games each of the past two seasons, play their home schedule at the on-campus Klotsche Center, 3409 N Downer Ave. General admission for all seats is $7. One big highlight of that schedule: Florida State, an NCAA tournament team last season, visits for a 7 p.m. game on Dec. 20.

Cleveland State (2-7) has an in-state matchup Wednesday 7:30 p.m. at home against disappointing Bowling Green (4-4), a veteran-laden team that has yet to win a game on the road.

6. ANTOINE DAVIS, Detroit

Key stats: 29.6 ppg, 3.5 apg, 57.1 eFG%

You're seeing a few unexpected names on our debut list, and Davis qualifies. He's got an interesting story: wound up at Detroit because his father, Mike Davis, got the job after leaving Texas Southern earlier this year. Davis is No. 2 in the country in scoring, trailing only Campbell's Chris Clemons, who's averaging 32.1 points.

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES
...
-NORTHERN KENTUCKY AT CINCINNATI. Very interesting storyline to this game. The two schools are in different states, but I believe are actually less than eight miles apart. Cincinnati played their home games at NKU last year while their arena was being renovated. NKU comes into this game with just one loss, and has looked really good in their last couple of games, so they will definitely be playing with confidence. If they were to pull this off it’s the kind of win that would make the committee sit up and take notice.

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES

We have 16 solid hours of basketball today starting at 8am!! I really wish Hawaii was playing at home tonight, because that would have extended it to 18 hours!! Today is jam packed, and pretty much every Saturday for the rest of the year will be like this!!
...
-LOYOLA CHICAGO AT UIC. A bit of a desperation game here for Loyola. They’re a modest 4-3 on the season and really need to get their motor started if they want to land inside the bubble. Today’s game is winnable, but it’s not a cakewalk. UIC is unbeaten at home, and they’ll be up for this one seeing as how Loyola was in the Final Four last year.
