Just nuts. Chicago State played nobody all year and was 3-9 coming in, then does what Purdue couldn’t do, beating NW on the road.

Never take any team lightly and always bring your”A” game !

We have LIU and Stonehill coming up.

I hope Pike reminds the team of these type of upsets

For disclosure purposes. I have seen Stonehill play and they are awful. We should win by 30 minimally. Cliff should have 12 dunks.
 
This isn't really a surprise, Wesley Cardet had 30 points and his game is probably today, 2 years out of HS, where Ace Bailey is on tape. He had high major offers, committed to Sanford to be "the primary option", then transferred to Chicago State.

Cardet is extremely talented....top 100 kid in 2021 class

You must've made a lot of money betting on Chicago State if it wasn't a surprise to you.
 
Northwestern drops from NET 48 to 84, Chicago State went from 327 to 317.

That's just how low Chicago state was, that this win only brought them up 10 spots.
The teams are bunched closer from 41-100 than the teams that are bunched together at the bottom between 303-362

It really is though…
 
Chicago State looked good, like it wasn’t a fluke. Tough D, tough on the boards, and they made shots.

They actually won it at the foul line. Near the end both teams had taken 20 foul shots, and ChiSt made 18 while NW only made 13.

I thought NW should have pressed but they gave ChiSt plenty of room to run their offense, which I found surprising.

If you told me Cardet was on Chicago State, I would have absolutely taken the 27 points and ran with it.

He's clearly the best player on the floor vs Northwestern.

If you asked me, who is the player of the year for the B1G, I would also tell fans here that it's really Dawson Garcia of Minnesota and that Garcia is better than Zach Edey. But thats how CBB is these days.
 
Its time to hit Stuart Mandel's twitter he's the asswipe that said Rutgers was the worst addition to the B1G and he's a Northwestern alum.
 
I looked at the box score and it’s weird
It’s not as if Chicago State caught fire.
No advantage on the turnover margin.
Chicago state only had 8 offensive boards.
And both teams shot around the same.
Looks like it was just a well played game. Very weird

I watched the entire second half. Indeed, it was a well-played game.

If both teams were wearing nondescript uniforms, you would have never known one was a nationally-ranked B1G team and the other was the only independent D1 team in the country.
