Cleveland State Remains Undefeated at the Carrier Dome
They were tied at the half with Syracuse and it looked like OT tied at 69. Instead, guard Cedric Jackson who had been 4-12 and 0-4 on threes took the inbound pass and let it fly as time expired and it was good.
Cleveland State is actually a decent team. They were the preseason pick for the Horizon League, but started poorly. Struggling to take care of Oakland and losing to Washington and Kent Kansas State. Then they failed to take care of division rival Butler in Cleveland, when they allowed a three at the buzzer to lose 50-48.
For Cleveland State, the Carrier Dome is a happy place. It was the first time they played Syracuse there, but they have been in Syracuse before. In the 1986 NCAA Tournament, the Vikings went to the Carrier Dome and beat Indiana and St. Joe's in the opening rounds. Now Cleveland State goes to 3-0 at the Carrier Dome.
