Cleveland State at Toledo

Cleveland State meets Toledo tonight and neither of these teams is off to a good start. The Rockets have yet to find the win column and Cleveland St. is off to a disappointing 1-2 start. It will be the first-ever meeting for these two teams which usually bodes well for scoring as neither has the tendencies of the other team down. Cleveland St. has seen their star player J'Nathon Bullock off to a 36% shooting performance as well as two other starters shooting in the mid-30s or less in the first three games, and you know that will change. The stats and scores are misleading however, as the Vikings have gone into games over their head where they played Washington and Kansas St. They shot a combined 43-126 for 34% in those games. The total is being held down because of this, but truly not indicative of where this team is offensively. Likewise, Toledo is being rated on offensive performances against Xavier and Florida - certainly above their level. Against the Mid-American, Cleveland St. is more on their level and has played four of the last five to the OVER, while Toledo has played OVER in four straight after scoring under 50 in their last game. I like this one to go OVER the total.
