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.

INDIANAPOLIS --  Twenty minutes after the game and Wright State coach Brad Brownell was still seething as he took questions about his team's 62-57 loss to the 22^nd ranked team in the latest AP Poll.

Wright State had scored 22 field goals to Butler's 17 field goals, out-shot Butler from beyond the arc by making eight 3-pointers to four for Butler and committed just eight turnovers to Butler's 10 turnovers.

The Raiders held all five of Butler's starters to under 50 percent shooting.
