Cleveland State vs. NC Wilmington

The first round of the Empire Classic will match Cleveland State vs. NC Wilmington. Both of these teams have had to replace a lot of production from last season. The Seahawks' offensive numbers are skewed by games against schools no one has heard of where they scored 108 points per game in the two games. In their three games vs. Division-1 opponents show just 60.7 ppg. Cleveland State has shown problems on offense as their four games vs. Division-1 opponents have seen them score 63 points or fewer in all of them. Moreover, this is a neutral-court game and neither team is used to the shooting background. Play on the UNDER.
