Coming into the game, I joked that both teams were at the top of my power rankings of 2-5 teams. It wasn’t entirely a joke. Both teams have a lot of potential, and I went into this game looking for answers as to the actual status of each team.
It didn’t go well for the Broncos. They took an early lead, but did so while shooting 70%. They were in the right places, and did a great job switching defensively. Then reality struck.
Their shooting cooled off, and they stared to break down defensively, as Cleveland State heated up, and the Vikings took a 37-31 halftime lead.
