Happy to give some love to Cleveland State, which knocked off Vanderbilt on Sunday in Nashville. Maybe Vandy isn't as good as a lot of people -- myself included -- thought it was. Still, the Vikings -- who have four seniors back from last year's Horizon League championship team -- appear to be the real deal. Harkens back to the days of Kenny "The Mouse" McFadden!!!
