3rd season in a row they have played each other. Stands at 1-1 after the first 2.

St Thomas is 4-4, 175 in the NET, so it should be a challenging game. Theirs wins are versus Idaho State, Portland State, and Western Michigan. Losses to Green Bay, California, Cal Baptist and Cal Poly.

St Thomas haven’t won a road game yet this season. The Cougars have a full week off since their strong win versus Stetson, to prepare for both St Thomas and the Northwestern game a few days later.

The Cougars should be healthy and prepped for this game. If the Cougars put in a performance like they did versus Stetson, a win is a real possibility.

They could beat a lot of teams if they played like they did against Stetson. I was impressed.

If someone looked at the final, they definitely wouldn’t know how close this game was. 5 point game with under 4 minutes to play, and had been a 1 point game just a few minutes earlier. But Chicago was so disjointed on offense, crushing any chance they had.

Definitely a poor ending to this game. Chicago could have won this game.

On to Evanston I guess…
