Chicago State's Xavier Johnson has four fouls.
One more and he's disqualified, leaving CSU with only five players.

Looks like the last limit bet at Circa was made on Illinois State -22.5.
Pointspread climbed to 24 before closing -23.5 there.

Bracing for some pointspread hijinks.
Both the full-game side and total are hanging in the balance.

Illinois State and OVER, the winning side-and-total combination.
Good second-half call by NOWSHESMYRUCA.

I'm just waiting for JK to announce he's taking part in open tryouts. Come on JK, you can take ballroom dancing and African American studies at CSU like all the real athletes do and get them to pay for a "tutor" who does all your homework for you. MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Haha.
There is no age limit for Division I athletes, according to the NCAA.
A few years ago, a 55-year-old running back named Joe Thomas Sr. competed for South Carolina State in a game against Savannah State.
One carry for three yards.
Fittingly, the 55-year-old played in a game on Senior Day.
Not quite as goofy as the Sarah Fuller story, but close.

I don't know how they are D1.
Chicago hoops coaches do not send their best to Illinois schools unless they "play ball".
Chicago State at Northern Illinois tomorrow night.
I saw openers of NIU -18 and 136.5 at Circa.
Chicago State will benefit from the transfer waiver rule as Idaho State transfer Coreyoun Rushin becomes available to the Cougars immediately.

Any chance you can dress as a healthcare worker and sneak into a medical center for an early Pfizer shot?
Me too.
NIU is 0-5 and yet the Huskies are -18.
NIU was 2-for-15 from beyond the arc in its last game and 3-for-9 from the free-throw line.
I flashed my Andy Frain uniform as a way to circumvent the parking fees at Chicago-area racetracks long after I served as an usher for the "Blue and Gold."
One of my favorite Ron Boyles stories:
Ron did not want to pay the $50 or $60 single-game admission for an early-season college basketball tournament game at Valley High School in Las Vegas.
He had the money but he was protesting the outrageous ticket price structure of the event organizers.
So, he waited until one of the tournament teams arrived on a chartered bus and followed the long line of players, coaches and administrative staff by posing as a member of the group.
If I'm not mistaken, Boyles had a couple thousand dollars riding on the game.
Too funny.

It was really difficult to get by those guys standing by the shack collecting the extra few bucks for preferred parking
Haha.

How many teams are in Illinois? Its a fucking soup, Western, Northern, Southern, Eastern, State, the Ilini, Northwestern, Loyola, Ill-Chicago, Depaul, Bradley...and then these clowns at CSU. Why do they exist? CSU sounds like the kind of school where no one is on campus after 5pm. If there was ever a need for contraction this is it.
And what is Chicago State doing in the Western Athletic Conference?
No wonder the state of Illinois is broke.
The state funds the public university about $40 million a year.
Chicago State dressed eight players tonight, up from six the other night.
Coreyoun Rushin, the transfer from Idaho State, is starting tonight.

NIU hits a top-of-the-key "3" to open the scoring.
The ESPN3 announcers talked about this game being a rivalry game.
NIU leads the all-time series, 26-0.
Can't make it up.

NIU should think about changing its basketball floor.
The dark gray color is not telegenic and Chicago State's dark numbers on dark uniforms makes it difficult for the announcers to identify the players.
