Chicago State vs LIU Injury Report

Neither Chicago State nor LIU have a player listed on its injury report.

Chicago State vs LIU Prediction

The Chicago State Cougars have been on the road all season and eventually, those games will pay off. However, Chicago State hasn’t had any success in these games and has looked awful on both ends of the floor. Chicago State allows 83.3 points per game and shoots just 35.9 percent from the field. It’s a mess. The Long Island University Sharks are coming off their best game of the season with a win over Le Moyne, and they’ve covered 4 of their last 5 games. I’d need more points to seriously consider Chicago State. The line is reasonable. Give me LIU at home.
