Chicago State Cougars

UC San Diego ended their regular season with a 92-87 home win over Cal Poly, despite the Mustangs finishing winless in Big West play. The Tritons shot well but allowed Cal Poly to score more than their average points per game. Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones led UCSD with 24 points while Bryce Pope had 22. UCSD failed to cover as an 18.5-point favorite and has struggled to cover in their last few games. Chicago State is ranked 285 in offense and 129 in defense, with a record of 13-19 this season. The Cougars struggle with shooting percentages but excel in defensive rebounds and free throw defense. A big time block from Bryce denies the Mustangs! 📺 https://t.co/i0vfawwCB9 #GoTritons pic.twitter.com/aiMsGn6lS8

Cardet Jr. has averaged 16.3 ppg over the past three games on 38.3% shooting, while Corbett has been the leading rebounder with 15.4 ppg and 7.8 rpg.

UC San Diego Basketball Team Poised for Victory in CBI Second Round Game

With 21 wins this season, UC San Diego's basketball team was unfortunately denied an NIT bid. However, this setback is likely to only increase their motivation going into their upcoming game. Senior player Pope, the team's leading scorer, will undoubtedly lead the charge in this important matchup. On the other hand, Chicago State is coming off a recent win after three consecutive losses, though it must be noted that their victory was against a NAIA team. With UCSD winning two of their last three games and finishing second in the Big West, they are well-positioned for success. Facing a Cougars team that struggled with shooting efficiency and rebounding in their previous game against an NAIA opponent, the Tritons are expected to dominate both offensively and defensively. A convincing win is expected, propelling UC San Diego to the second round of the CBI. Taking UCSD at -10.5 seems like a smart bet.
