Box Score

CHICAGO – The Chicago State men's basketball team kicked off a two-game homestand for homecoming week tonight at the Emil and Patricia Jones Convocation Center in a big way as five players scored in double figures in a dominant 105-64 victory over Indiana University Northwest.

The Green and White (2-1) came out a little sluggish in the opening 20 minutes despite holding a 44-29 halftime advantage, but stepped up in the second stanza with a 61-35 margin while 10 of the 12 CSU players that played scored.

Junior Trayvon Palmer (Milwaukee, Wis./Brown Deer) led the Cougar contingent with his second double-double of the season with a season-best 22 points and a career-high 16 rebounds. Palmer recorded two more career highs of four blocked shots and four steals while shooting 9-of-12 from the floor and drained all four of his free throw attempts.

Senior Jawad Adekoya (Tinley Park, Ill./Andrew) and freshman Anthony Eaves (Louisville, Ky./Ballard) each contributed 15 points, while senior Kieran Woods (Chicago, Ill./Crane) posted 14 points, seven rebounds and four steals. Rounding out the group was freshman Fred Sims, Jr. (Chicago, Ill./North Lawndale), who finished with 13 points and a game-leading four assists.

The RedHawks (2-4) were led by Quentin Palmer's game-high 23 points, and Brandon Grubl's seven rebounds and two steals.

CSU concludes its short homestand on Saturday afternoon when it welcomes Trinity International to the JCC for its homecoming game with the opening tip set for 2:05 p.m.
