HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. (Interstat) — Northern Kentucky looks to continue its strong start when it hosts Cleveland State in a Horizon League men’s basketball matchup on Wednesday. The Norse (6-2) have won four straight games, most recently a 74-65 home victory over Boston University on Saturday. Dan Gherezgher led the way with 23 points, supported by double-figure scoring from LJ Wells (14 points) and Donovan Oday (16 points). Cleveland State (3-6) seeks to rebound from a lopsided 86-59 road loss at Missouri last Friday. Dayan Nessah paced the Vikings with 14 points and nine rebounds in that contest. The Vikings’ season has been inconsistent, with their three wins coming against non-Division I opponents Waynesburg and Capital, and a road victory at Radford. The game will be played at BB&T Arena. Northern Kentucky holds a distinct advantage in early season performance, while Cleveland State aims to find momentum before opening a stretch of five consecutive home games later in December.
