Chicago State basketball is on the rise.
I preferred the days when the team struggled to dress seven players for the WAC tournament at season's end.
At The Orleans one season, I remember one of the team managers dressed for a conference tournament game, but did not play.
The team posted back-to-back seasons of 3-29 in the late 2010's.
Chicago State was so bad, it was fun to follow.
Pomeroy projects CSU to finish 12-18 this season.
On the gambling front, EOG contributor SLEEPY had a good run betting Chicago State games UNDER the total a few seasons ago.
Crafty, very crafty.
If you're looking for a struggling CSU hoop team this season, look no further than the women's team.
I plan to attend the women's game at Chicago State this Saturday to see this pathetic team up close.
Would you believe the Chicago State Lady Cougars are 0-20 this season?
The head coach, Andrea Williams, is in her second season at CSU.
I researched her first season on the south side of Chicago.
The team finished 6-22.
I had to check out the six wins.
Four of the six wins came against the same team (Hartford).
You can't make it up.
I then looked at the Chicago State roster.
Would you believe there is not a single player from the city of Chicago -- or for that matter, the state of Illinois -- on the Chicago State team?
If I were in charge at Chicago State, I would give the athletic director an ultimatum: Either fire the women's head basketball coach or submit your resignation, effective immediately.
