UC San Diego vs Chicago State prediction

These lines in the CBI are really confusing, as a strong argument can be made UC San Diego was the better team this season. Chicago State doesn't have great offensive depth and has had issues defensively. With all that said, Chicago State hasn't played in over a month, while UC San Diego hasn't played in a couple of weeks. Both the Tritons and Cougars are now being dropped off in Daytona Beach. It's all about motivation. Who really wants to keep its season alive? Due to the long layoffs and what not, I'm grabbing the points with Chicago State and hoping for the best.
