What to Know

After two games on the road, the Abilene Christian Wildcats are heading back home. The Wildcats and the Chicago State Cougars will face off in a WAC battle at 8 p.m. ET Wednesday at Teague Special Events Center. Abilene Christian should still be riding high after a victory, while Chicago State will be looking to get back in the win column.

Abilene Christian came out on top in a nail-biter against the Lamar Cardinals this past Saturday, sneaking past 85-82. The overall outcome was to be expected, but Lamar made it more of a game than the oddsmakers had predicted.

Meanwhile, the contest between Chicago State and the Dixie St. Trailblazers this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with the Cougars falling 79-65 at home, it was darn close to turning into one.

This next matchup looks promising for the Wildcats, who are favored by a full 17.5 points. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past two games, so buyers beware.

Abilene Christian's win brought them up to 14-7 while Chicago State's defeat pulled them down to 6-15. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Abilene Christian ranks first in college basketball when it comes to takeaways, with 21.8 on average. Less enviably, the Cougars are 15th worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 15.1 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Chicago State.
