Halftime Report

A win for Charleston would push their record over .500, and after one quarter of play they've put themselves in a good position to make it happen. After one quarter, neither squad has the contest in the bag, but Charleston leads 45-42 over S. Illinois.

If Charleston keeps playing like this they'll be starting off their season with a 'W'. On the other hand, S. Illinois will be starting their season off on the wrong foot unless they turn things around (and fast).

What to Know

The Charleston Cougars will hit the road to start this year's campaign against the S. Illinois Salukis. Tip off is scheduled at 12:00 p.m. ET on Monday at Sanford Pentagon.

Monday's contest is shaping up to be a scrappy match: Charleston smashed the glass last season, having averaged 39.8 rebounds per game. It's a different story for S. Illinois, though, as they averaged only 32.7.

Looking back to last season, Charleston had a stellar season and finished 24-7. Similarly, S. Illinois assembled a winning record last year, finishing the season 19-12.

Looking forward, Charleston is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 3.5 points. They finished last season with an even 14-14-2 record against the spread.

Charleston ought to be happy about their advantage in the spread: the team was a solid 20-4 when favored last season. Betting on them to win was the most profitable play last year, as bettors who put $100 on that outcome in every game walked away with $300.03. Sadly, S. Illinois will open their season as the underdog, and the team was 3-9 as such last year.
