Keith Clemons back tonight, per Jon Rothstein. Looking forward to seeing him back in the rotation.

Will be great to see him back... Sure doesn't make Coach Drew's job any easier!

[Dansen]

Pretty small team, at least their starters. Will be interesting to see if we use Hutty to punish them or if we match them and go small with Knight/Welch

[jmiller2794]

Two best teams on the red line play each other tonight.

[Dansen]

Really sloppy first 8 minutes

[01grad]

Getting Hutty involved early and some scoring opportunities was smart. We’ll need him this season against bigger squads.

[goramblers2011]

This offense can fill it up in a hurry. Really looking forward to seeing how we look vs tougher competition.

[01grad]

Even though the score is lopsided, I’ll say this for Chicago State: they have a few pretty decent shooters. A lot of roster turnover since last year for them, and I expect they’ll win a few conference games.

[Dansen]

Agreed, and CSU played very hard until the end. Coach has brought in some talent quickly compared to what we’ve seen recently.

Each game we’ve played this season it feels like the other team hits a few super deep 3s as we lock up their other options.

Hutson looked better. Missed two gimmes but still put up 15. Need more than two rebounds from him.

Chris Knight..not so much. Fouled out with only six points. I think he only played six or seven minutes. Not his best showing

Clemons looked a little shaky in his return but not worried about him. Limited minutes and just getting his feet wet. I hope to see Quise continue to start.

Ryan Schwieger was scorching from deep. And I think I saw Ben Schweiger back on the bench.

Uguak with an extremely efficient 14 points (5-6 from the field).

Quise was phenomenal in the first half, quiet in the second but just influences the game in so man ways.

Thought this was Lucas' best defensive efforts this year. Just a ball hawk. Only shot the ball three times (2-3 from deep).

Braden had another 1-4 game from deep. But did his job facilitating the offense leading thee team with four assists. I think he'll start pouring them in soon enough.

UIC up next. They are going to be a nice test before heading to the Bahamas. Tough team with a defensive-minded coach. Took future conference foe, Dayton, to the finish line @Dayton and beat current conference foe, Valpo, @Valpo.
