Cleveland State Men’s Basketball Releases Non-Conference Schedule – Cleveland State University
Cleveland, OH-The Cleveland State men’s basketball team has released its 2024 Non-Conference Schedule. The Vikings will play a total of 12 games against non-conference opponents including an exhibition contest on October 30 against Lourdes to kick off the season which will be free of charge for all fans.
“Our schedule is officially set, and I’m really excited about the challenges that lie ahead,” said head coach Daniyal Robinson. “We set out each year to challenge ourselves in our non-conference schedule in order to best prepare ourselves for league play. We’ll have a chance to play in several hostile environments throughout the first part of the season. Naturally, we always look forward to the opportunities we have to protect home court, and this year we’ll be hosting a pair of prestigious MAC programs in Eastern Michigan and Kent State at the Wolstein Center. Another thing I’m looking forward to is starting a Home & Home series with a former conference foe in Valparaiso. Looking up and down the schedule, we know we will be tested throughout and it will be a great opportunity for us to gauge where we’re at.”
“We also had the opportunity this year to bring back the Thanksgiving Week MTE in Woodling Gym. We had a ton of success with that last year, and what makes it special is it gives CSU fans and alumni a chance to reminisce on some of the great Cleveland State teams of the past that played in Woodling.”
“When it comes to League Play, I look forward to the challenge of kicking things off on the road this year against two teams that had a ton of success last year in Milwaukee and Green Bay. Just like any year, there are no easy games when it comes to Horizon League play. I’m excited to compete against a handful of new Head Coaches in the league, too. Especially in the cases of Coach Sargent at Wright State and Coach Faulkner at Youngstown State, those guys were a huge part of the success their predecessors had at their respective schools.”
“Everybody knows the Horizon League lost a lot of talent following last season to graduation and other circumstances, but I look around the league now, and I think everybody did a tremendous job recruiting at the high school and JUCO levels as well as in the transfer portal. It’s going to be a fun season ahead!”
The schedule is highlighted by an in-state matchup with Kent State at the Wolstein Center on November 23 which will be the annual Homecoming game. The Vikings also welcome Eastern Michigan to Cleveland on November 16. Cleveland State matched up with both teams on the road in the 2023-24 season and will take on Kent State for the fourth time in the past six seasons.
Cleveland State will also visit three “Power 4” conference opponents, starting with the regular season opener at Michigan on Monday, November 4. The Vikings and Wolverines will meet for the tenth time in series history and the first time since 2012. Cleveland State will also travel to Kansas State on November 9 and Minnesota on November 19. Both the Wildcats and Gophers made appearances in the NIT last season.
Cleveland State will also host the Viking Invitational, a multi-team tournament scheduled to take place at Woodling Gymnasium over Thanksgiving weekend. The games against Morehead State and New Jersey Institute of Technology will be free to attend for all fans. Cleveland State’s game against Brescia on December 14 will also offer free admission.
Viking fans will have a host of ticket packages and opportunities to catch the action inside the Wolstein Center and Woodling Gymnasium throughout the season. Season tickets remain on sale and can be purchased by calling the CSU Ticket Office at 216-687-4848 or online at this link. Cleveland State Athletics is excited to launch the sale of single-game tickets, as well as mini plans including the return of the “Downtown Deals” and “Hoop Diggity Dog” packages.
“Downtown Deals” allows CSU fans to take advantage of one of the best values Downtown Cleveland has to offer. The $35 package includes a lower-level game ticket plus unlimited food and drink, including alcoholic beverages. This package is available for select weeknight home games starting with the regular season home opener against Baldwin Wallace.
Also returning is the “Hoop Diggity Dog” family package. This package is perfect for families looking for a fun weekend activity as fans can purchase a lower-level game ticket along with a concession voucher for a hot dog, popcorn and fountain drink for $15 per person. This package is available for most weekend home games throughout the season.
Groups of ten or more can also take advantage of special discounted pricing for any ticketed home game. Lower-level sideline tickets can be purchased for $22 per person which includes a replica jersey.
Flex plans are also available with options to purchase either four, eight or 12 vouchers at one time. Each voucher is good for a sideline reserved ticket to a majority of ticketed home games throughout the season.
Fans will also have multiple doubleheader opportunities to see both the men’s and women’s basketball team in action for one low price. Doubleheaders will occur on November 23, December 29, and February 8.
More information including broadcast coverage and promotional details will be announced at a later date.

Third wave of No Kings Day protests take over northeast Ohio
CLEVELAND — Thousands of people braved the cold in downtown Cleveland for the third wave of “No Kings Day” demonstrations against the Trump administration.
This time, protestors said, the stakes are higher than ever.
Community members and activists joined at the Free Stamp in Willard Park and marched alongside Lakeside Avenue and around Cleveland Public Square on Saturday. Demonstrators said they’re rallying against the Trump administration’s escalation of federal immigration enforcement tactics and rocky global economy amid the country’s war with Iran.

U.S. Military Veteran Fidel Swain said he’s marching for the rights of all Americans.
“We’re really concerned with what’s going on in the country today as far as this current administration,” Swain said. “They all seem to not follow the principles and ideas of the working class and just most Americans, which is law, order.”
Northeast Ohio resident Charlotte Hartman also stood among the crowd of demonstrators. She said she attended the two previous No Kings Day protests in Strongsville.
Today, Hartman said, she’s standing in solidarity with all marginalized groups.

“The way he treats people and minorities, the way he treats handicapped people … They don’t seem to be any care or concern for anybody,” Hartman said.
Hartman was joined by Elaine Wheaton, who said she hopes the demonstration will help unite Americans, despite ideological differences.
“We’re hoping that some of the people that voted for Trump before might be changing their mind,” Wheaton said. “He’s getting a little too overboard … I have no problem with Republican presidents like Reagan or Bush or whatever, but it’s not that he’s Republican. It’s just that he’s a bad human.”
The White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson sent a statement to Spectrum News dismissing Saturday’s protest. She wrote, “The only people who care about these Trump Derangement Therapy Sessions are the reporters who are paid to cover them.”
The first No Kings Day protest in June included around 5 million participants, while the second event in the fall drew in around 7 million people.
While speaking about the No Kings Day protests in October, Trump told Fox business that he’s “not a king.”

‘No Kings’ protests planned Saturday across Northeast Ohio
CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Protests against President Donald Trump’s administration are scheduled across the country Saturday, including in Northeast Ohio.
Events are happening around the region, with the largest turnout expected in downtown Cleveland.
Cindy Demsey, a co-organizer of the event, emphasized the rally’s purpose: “No Kings rallies in Cleveland and around the country demonstrate that We The People support an immediate end to foreign wars, ICE’s terror tactics, the administration’s unconstitutional power grab, covering up evidence of crimes against children and government for billionaires.”
The rally is set to begin at 1:00 PM at the Free Stamp next to City Hall on Lakeside Avenue and East 9th Street.
Back in October, thousands gathered downtown, and the events featured musical performances and various speakers before a march.

Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavaliers Live Stream: How to Watch NBA
The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Miami Heat on Friday night, in the second game of a back-to-back between these Eastern Conference rivals.
The Miami Heat go for their 40th win of the season and the series victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road on Friday. This is the second game of a back-to-back for these teams, fighting for positioning in the Eastern Conference standings. Both of these games will be played in Cleveland, with the Heat pulling off the upset in Game 1 on Wednesday, winning 120-103. The win ended Miami’s five-game losing streak, and the loss ended the Cavaliers’ four-game winning streak. The win gave the Heat a 2-1 series lead, with Friday’s game serving as the finale. Miami is back in the eighth seed, but is only a half-game above the Charlotte Hornets and Orlando Magic. Cleveland is sitting comfortably in fourth place, but is three games back of the New York Knicks for third. The biggest name sitting out of this rematch is Jarrett Allen, who is dealing with a knee injury but is expected to return on Friday. The Cavaliers should be the favorite at home to tie this season series at two games apiece in this rematch.
