No one has ever confused the Chicago State men for having a great basketball program. In 38 years of the program’s history, the Cougars have precisely two winning seasons to their name. They haven’t even finished with double-digit wins since 2014. A powerhouse, this is not.
Coming into Saturday, New Mexico State (-16.5) was supposed to humble the Cougars. They were supposed to give Chicago State and first-year head coach Gerald Gillion a taste of the medicine that, by now, they are very familiar with.
Unfortunately, no one told Chicago State that they were supposed to roll over this close to March (depending on whom you ask anyway).
