Conference Tournaments

INDIANAPOLIS - You could say the third time is the charm, since it took three tries this year for Cleveland State to finally beat Butler, but that would understate how hard the Vikings worked to get the 67-64 win in the Horizon League Championship game.

Cleveland State had to win four games to clinch the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament against a well-rested No. 1 seed Butler, who benefited from the double bye, which meant they just had to win two games.
