CHICAGO STATE COUGARS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Corry Irvin's Chicago State women's basketball program operates from Jones Convocation Center on the South Side, where the Cougars compete in the Northeast Conference at the NCAA Division I level. With 2,238 students across campus, Chicago State fields a 15-player roster that averaged 60.6 points per game while allowing opponents 73.6 during the current season. The team finished 8-18 overall, though conference play told a different story at 6-5, demonstrating notable strength against Northeast Conference competition despite struggles in non-conference matchups.
Home court has proven advantageous for Chicago State, which posted a 5-6 record at Jones Convocation Center compared to just 3-12 on the road. The disparity highlights the program's reliance on familiar surroundings—nearly a 17-point swing in win-loss differential between home and away games. Founded in 1867, Chicago State has built its athletics program as a Division I institution, and the women's basketball team's conference competitiveness suggests the program is establishing itself within Northeast Conference standings despite the overall .308 winning percentage.
