| Guards |
Turnovers will be the key issues for both sets of guards, as will three-point shooting. The key to this fight may be Niakate, who led the Vikings with 17 points in a losing effort against Florida Atlantic |
| Advantage - Cleveland State | |
| Forwards | The Viking forwards were the driving force to out-rebounding Florida Atlantic on Saturday night. Williams and Gowley should have no problem repeating that performance against the Mastodons. |
| Advantage - Cleveland State | |
| Center | At the current moment, it appears that Gosley will be the body on Kassenich. However, the lineup could change if Pape Badiane in brought into the game. |
| Advantage - Cleveland State | |
| Reserves | The Vikings are playing with only 10 men on the bench, while IPFW uses an 11-man rotation. This shouldn't be a problem for CSU as two of the three men injured (Pete Ritzema and Amadou Koundoul) will, in all likelihood, be sitting at the end of the Viking bench along with Jerrod Calhoun, a guard in a lineup full of guards. |
| Advantage - Cleveland State | |
| Coaches | This is Mastadon head coach Doug Nolls second season in Division I, and the inexperience will show this time around. |
| Advantage - Cleveland State | |
| Final Score | CSU 75, IPFW 67 - This will, in all likelihood, be the only game the Vikings will win at the BCA Invitational. |
