Chicago State only has two wins on the season and they are shooting 36.2% from the field. The Cougars are scoring just 59.5 points per game, while their defense has allowed 79.1 points per game. I really don’t care for either team in this matchup, but I can’t back Chicago State with how they have played in their first 20 games of the season. Take Stonehill to get the cover at home in this contest.
