What to Know

The Oakland Golden Grizzlies' homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Cleveland State Vikings at 3 p.m. ET Feb. 26 at Athletics Center Orena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

Oakland ended up a good deal behind the PFW Mastodons when they played on Thursday, losing 81-70.

Meanwhile, Cleveland State came up short against the Detroit Titans on Thursday, falling 74-67.

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Golden Grizzlies are expected to win a tight contest Saturday. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past three games.

Oakland didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with Cleveland State in the teams' previous meeting last month, but they still walked away with a 70-65 victory. Will Oakland repeat their success, or do the Vikings have a better game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
