Cleveland State concludes its brief two-game homestand when the Vikings host St. Bonaventure on Friday (Nov. 18) at 7:00 p.m. in the Wolstein Center. The Vikings have opened the season with two wins, including an 86-57 triumph over Rio Grande on Tuesday (Nov. 15) in the home opener. St. Bonaventure has played just one game this year, a 79-58 win over Cornell on Nov. 11. This will be the eighth all-time meeting with the Bonnies holding a 6-1 advantage in the series. CSU earned a 69-51 win in last year's meeting in the Wolstein Center.

PREVIEWING THE VIKINGS: Sixth-year head coach Gary Waters will combine an experienced group of upperclassmen with one of the most talented freshman classes in school history as the Vikings set out to win a second straight Horizon League title. The strength of the team is at the guards where seniors Trey Harmon and Jeremy Montgomery return after starting all 36 games last season. They will be joined in the backcourt by freshmen Sebastian Douglas and Charles Lee. Senior D'Aundray Brown returns to the lineup after missing last season with a finger injury to man the small forward spot with freshmen Marlin Mason and Ike Nwamu ready to step in and provide minutes. Senior Aaron Pogue returns as the starting center with junior Tim Kamczyc back at the power forward slot. Sophomores Devon Long and Luda Ndaye and freshman Anton Grady add depth, athleticism and length to the frontcourt.
