Valparaiso takes control of Horizon League race with big Thursday win

By Kyle Nagel | Thursday, February 9, 2012, 11:11 PM

Valparaiso has grabbed hold of the advantage in the Horizon League basketball race after a dominating 59-41 win against host Cleveland State on Thursday night in a matchup of the league’s top two teams.

CSU entered the game in first place, and Valparaiso was in second. Valparaiso then got 24 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals from junior Ryan Broekhoff and shot 11-of-22 from 3-point range. Cleveland State shot 25.9 percent.

Elsewhere, Butler beat host Youngstown State 68-59 to climb into a tie for fourth place with YSU behind Valparaiso, Cleveland State and Milwaukee.

The losses by CSU and YSU bring the standings even closer together entering the final three weekends of the season.

Seventh-place Wright State will host eighth-place Green Bay tonight.
