Round 2 will feature #3 Cleveland State taking on #6 Wright State.  In their previous two matchups Cleveland State proved too much for WSU to handle winning by 19 at home and by 2 on the road.  Likewise in the #4 Valparaiso vs. #5 Detroit, Valparaiso won the two regular season games with an 8 point home win and a 10 point road win.  It is very tough to beat a team three times in one season, so I look for Friday's games to be very competitive.
