2007-2008 Cleveland State Viking NCAA Basketball Lines

Gary Waters went 3-13 in the Horizon League in his first year as head coach and 10-21 overall. Basketball lines on Cleveland State should show the Vikings as improved in 2007-2008.

NCAA basketball lines odds are impacted on Cleveland State by the presence of junior J'Nathan Bullock.  He is the player to watch on the Vikings and the one that will make the biggest impact in terms of NCAA basketball lines odds. Transfer George Tandy was Ohio Valley Conference freshman of the year two years ago and should help take the pressure off Bullock according to NCAA basketball lines experts. Cedric Jackson will take over the point guard spot according to basketball lines experts.  He was a two year starter at St. John's.  Also returning according to those that look at the NCAA basketball lines is guard Joe Davis. Junior Chris Moore transferred from UC Santa Barbara according to experts that examine the NCAA basketball line.

Cleveland State is trying to go with a defense-first philosophy according to experts that look at basketball lines.  The new transfers could make an impact on the NCAA basketball lines this season.  Bullock is a beast and could lead the Vikings to some success versus the NCAA basketball lines this season.  Jackson and Tandy may also make an impact on the NCAA basketball lines this season. NCAA basketball lines experts see that the Vikings have to replace eight players from last year’s team but that may be good news. There will be seven first-year and three redshirt players making their debut to go along with five returning members of last year’s team according to experts that bet the NCAA basketball lines.

Cleveland State rarely gets respect on the NCAA basketball lines and that usually makes them a good value.  They could be a surprise in the Horizon League this season and one of the teams you don’t want to overlook as you examine the basketball lines each week.  They may not be able to handle a team like Butler but they can be very competitive in most Horizon League games this season.
