Suddenly, losing is becoming contagious.

The downward spiral of Cleveland State’s men’s basketball team is at five straight games going into today’s 7 p.m. matchup against Detroit in the Wolstein Center.

Even with the losses, coach Gary Waters’ Vikings (20-9, 10-6 Horizon League) are in the hunt for the No. 2 seed in the Horizon League Tournament, which starts Tuesday. To make that happen, the Vikings have to win against Detroit and Saturday against Wright State, and have Valparaiso win Friday at home against Butler (18-12, 11-6).

In the Mid-American Conference, Kent State’s upset loss at Miami on Tuesday night dropped the Golden Flashes (19-8, 9-4) out of a second-place tie in the East Division and into third place. The Flashes next play at fifth-place Bowling Green on Saturday.

First-place Akron (20-8, 12-1) is coming off a BracketBusters loss at Oral Roberts over the weekend.
