St. Francis is the better team, but that’s not saying much. St. Francis has issues offensively, and it doesn’t get better on the road, where it’s 2-11 SU on the season. Chicago State is one of the worst teams in college basketball, but it’s coming off two straight wins and three of its four wins on the season have come at home. Maybe wins over LIU and Mercyhurst could be a turning point for Chicago State. This is a winnable game for Chicago State, and it’s covered four of its last six games. Give me Chicago State and the points.
