What to Know
The Hartford Hawks head home again Saturday, but with the point spread against them by 7 points, it might not be quite the welcoming they would prefer. The Hawks and the Chicago State Cougars will face off in an Independents battle at 2 p.m. ET at Chase Family Arena. Hartford isn't favored, but they just beat the odds in their last game, so don't count them out.
While not quite a landslide, the matchup between Hartford and the Stonehill Skyhawks last Wednesday was still a pretty decisive one as Hartford wrapped it up with a 73-56 win at home.
Meanwhile, Chicago State escaped with a win on Monday against the The Citadel Bulldogs by the margin of a single free throw, 76-75.
Their wins bumped Hartford to 5-17 and the Cougars to 7-17. We'll see who can continue their climb to a .500 record.
