Student-athletes on the Cleveland State University esports team are preparing for their first full season as a varsity sport

Cleveland State University announced this week that Coach Dennis Gates was leaving CSU to take up the head coach position at the University of Missouri.

New head coach of CSU men’s basketball, Daniyal Robinson, will be taking on the challenge of rebuilding the program with a fresh cast of players and staff members.

Major changes are coming to both of Cleveland State’s basketball programs now that the 20 21-22 season is over.

Cleveland was in the spotlight as it hosted NBA All-Star weekend for the first time since 1997.

The Cleveland State Vikings are rolling at the end of the season as the women’s basketball team gets the respect it deserves with 4th straight win.

CSU men’s basketball fell to a heartbreaking 102-98 defeat in triple overtime, Feb. 14 against the Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons, their fourth inner-conference loss this season.

Another strong season from the Vikings has Cleveland State in the hunt for the best record in the Horizon League. Currently, they're in 2nd place in the Horizon League after a loss on Sunday which snapped a four-game winning streak.
