What to Know

The Dixie St. Trailblazers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Trailblazers and the Chicago State Cougars will face off in a WAC battle at 3 p.m. ET Saturday at Jones Convocation Center. Dixie St. should still be riding high after a victory, while Chicago State will be looking to right the ship.

Dixie St. had enough points to win and then some against the UTRGV Vaqueros on Saturday, taking their contest 85-74.

Meanwhile, the game between Chicago State and the Utah Valley Wolverines on Thursday was not particularly close, with Chicago State falling 101-87.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Dixie St. is expected to win a tight contest. They are currently five-for-five against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The Trailblazers' win brought them up to 10-10 while the Cougars' defeat pulled them down to 6-14. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Dixie St. is 38th worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 74.6 on average. Chicago State has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 13th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 62.7 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
