As of Wednesday morning, Chicago State was 355th out of the 365 Division I teams in the Kenpom.com ratings, which still put it ahead of two of its fellow Northeast Conference members.

This is the Cougars’ 42nd year in Division I. They have had three winning seasons, and just one (2008-09) between 1986-87 and the present. They were 4-28 last season and are 308-884 in their D-I history.

Though they’ve been outscored by an average of 20 points per game, they’ve competed lately, They lost 67-63 to city rival UIC on Nov. 15, and led Minnesota with seven minutes left Tuesday before losing, 66-54.
