The Chicago State Cougars and the Cleveland State Vikings meet in college basketball action from the Wolstein Center on Wednesday.

The Chicago State Cougars will try to bounce back from an 82-70 loss to Marshall last time out. Wesley Cardet Jr. leads the Cougars in scoring and assists with 15.7 PPG and 3 APG while Jahsean Crockett has 12.3 PPG with a team-high 8.2 RPG to lead the Cougars on the class and Elijah Weaver has 12.2 PPG to cap off the trio of double-digit scorers for Chicago State up to this point in the season. As a team, Chicago State is averaging 66.5 PPG on 40.3% shooting from the field, 32.5% from three and 75.9% from the foul line this season.

The Cleveland State Vikings will look to build on their 67-58 win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff last time out. Tristan Enaruna leads Cleveland State in scoring and rebounding with 13 PPG and 8.6 RPG while Tae Williams has 10 PPG and 4.4 RPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Cleveland State up to this point in the year. Deante Johnson has 9.8 PPG with 5.6 RPG while Deshon Parker has 9.4 PPG with 4.6 RPG and a team-high 6.2 APG up to this point in the season. As a team, Cleveland State is averaging 64.2 PPG on 43.9% shooting from the field, 28.8% from three and 64.1% from the foul line this season.

Chicago State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win while the under is 7-1-2 in their last 10 games overall. Cleveland State is 10-2 ATS in their last 12 Wednesday games and 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 home games.

I get why Cleveland State’s favored at home, but I’m not looking to lay this kind of number with the Vikings even if they have had some form of success against lesser opponents this season. Chicago State has battled hard in the early going this season and I think they can give the Vikings a bit of a battle here. Give me Chicago State and the points.
