I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams, but the Citadel Bulldogs have been the better side this season and them being at home should give them the edge. The Chicago State Cougars are on the road, where they lose by an average of 11.4 points and shoot just 39.5 percent from the field. I’ll lay the bucket.
