That was their first victory over a Division I team since Dec. 1 when they beat Toledo 78-73.

Coach Billy Donlon on Cleveland State: "Cleveland State had a great win (Monday) against Illinois-Chicago. They're back to playing Gary Waters basketball with their defense and their pressure. They held UIC to 21 in the first half. It'll be another war. Our league has got a lot of parity in it. You've got to do everything you can do defend your home court."
