About Chicago State Cougars Basketball

Chicago State Cougars basketball competes at the NCAA Division I level as a member of the Northeast Conference (NEC), a conference the program joined beginning with the 2022–23 season. Chicago State University moved to NCAA Division I in 1984, and the Cougars have spent stretches as a Division I Independent as well as a member of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) from 2013–14 through 2021–22. Notable names connected to the program include Elton Brown, with the team also serving as a Division I opportunity for Chicago-area talent.

Home games are played at the Jones Convocation Center, a multi-purpose arena on the Chicago State University campus that opened in 2007. With an approximate capacity of 7,000, it’s built for a close-to-the-court feel that keeps fans connected to the pace and physicality of college basketball.

Chicago State’s current conference home is the NEC, and with the program’s history of conference transitions and long Independent stretches, the Cougars don’t have a single defining long-standing rivalry. Local matchups with other Illinois Division I programs, including games against the UIC Flames, can bring added interest and increased demand. If there’s a specific matchup you’re targeting, browsing Chicago State Cougars Basketball tickets early is the smartest move.
