Here are the game notes from gocsucougars.com

ALL TIME SERIES - Thursday is the first ever meeting between Chicago State and Grand Canyon.

ROADKILL - Before falling at Utah Valley last Saturday, the Cougars opened WAC road play 3-0. It was the second time in school history the Cougars started 3-0 on the road in conference play. The 1999-00 team opened Mid-Continent Conference play with victories at Western Illinois, IUPUI and Oakland before losing at Southern Utah.

DOUBLE-DIGITS WINS - The Cougars' next victory will put them at 10 on the season. It will be the 10th time the Cougars record 10 victories in a season since Chicago State joined NCAA Division I in 1984-85. It will also be the third time in Division I school history the Cougars earn 10 or more wins in a year in back-to-back seasons.

MATCHING LAST YEAR - With nine wins the Cougars have already matched last year's regular season win total. The Cougars finished last season 11-22 with a pair of victories coming in the Great West Conference Tournament.

LAST TIME OUT - The Cougars shrunk a 16-point second half deficit to just two points at first place Utah Valley on Saturday (Jan. 25) before falling to the Wolverines 62-55 in Orem, Utah.

UP NEXT - Chicago State takes more than a week off before returning to the court on Saturday, Jan. 8 against Kansas City. The home WAC doubleheader will see the women play at 2 p.m. and the men follow at 4:30 p.m.

Looking forward to tonight's match-up! Got to keep pace with the WAC leaders. I think we will have an upset or two this weekend, starting with tonight. Go Cougars!

I agree! The Cougars have to keep pace at the top of the conference. UTPA has been playing well of late and it'd be the perfect night for the team to knock off UVU! Hopefully CSUB can get a surprise win in Las Cruces as well.

1st half score.. 49-36 GCU. Probably one of the poorest defensive efforts for the Cougars this year. Also, can't hit their free throws and are missing layups. Hopefully they can get it going in the 2nd half. If not, home is not much of an "advantage" any more.

Chicago State loses another game at home.. 76-75. Too little too late. Not really sure why they let 16 seconds run off the clock before they fouled there at the end. They let some valuable time come off .. time which they could've used! Good to see the team come back in the second half (again). They need to start playing two halves though or else it'll be a long rest of the season.
