The Cougars travel to Eastern Illinois today. The game time is 7pm CT and can watched here and listened to here.

The Cougars are coming off a home win against Bakersfield. Eastern Illinois is on a current four game losing streak. Hopefully the Cougars can start the road trip off right and extend the Panthers losing streak to five!

I went to the game last night in Charleston, IL, and the Cougars just never really got it going. The final score was 62-84 -- EIU winning. The Panthers started the game on a 11-0 run to begin the game and really never looked back. The Cougars made a couple runs in the second half but never got any closer than 10 points. The Cougars were very active on defense and forced 16 turnovers. However, at times it was a little too active and gave the Panthers several wide open layups (Panthers shot 61.7% from the field). Also, a lot of fouls on Chicago State.. especially in the second half. On the other end, the Cougars did not get hardly any calls. All in all, it is a tough loss for Chicago State. We'll see if they can pick it back up against Seattle on Thursday.
