Green Bay traded home court at the Kress for the Resch Friday and grabbed a 17-16 lead midway through the first half, but the floodgates soon opened for Cleveland State as they went on a 23-7 run to break the game open. 

The Phoenix closed the gap to 12 heading into halftime down 39-27. UWGB would outscore the Vikings in the second half, 55-50, but it wasn't enough to overcome the big first half run and they fell 89-82. 

It's the second time in two weeks the two teams met with Green Bay taking game one on January 15. Preston Ruedinger finished with 23 points in both games causing the Vikings problems, but this time Cleveland State overcame it with four players finishing over 15 points including team leader Dayan Nessah with 18 and 9 rebounds. 

The big difference came on offense as Cleveland State shot over 50% from the field and three-point range including 16-29 from the arc and UWGB was below both thresholds and 13-27 on triples. 

Green Bay will try to regroup returning to the Resch Center Sunday facing off against Wright State with tip-off at 1 p.m.
