Noah Treadwell anchored a high-efficiency offensive performance as South Carolina State dismantled Chicago State 82-67 in Chicago on Monday. The Bulldogs (3-0) controlled the tempo from the opening tip, leveraging Treadwell’s 22-point outing to establish a commanding lead that never wavered. Treadwell’s impact extended beyond the scoreboard, as he disrupted Chicago State’s rhythm with three steals, signaling a defensive commitment that proved decisive in the final margin.
Bulldogs extend perfect start with dominant defensive showing and balanced scoring attack
Supporting Treadwell, Teon Tindal provided a reliable scoring punch with 12 points, shooting an efficient 4-for-6 from the field and converting all six of his free-throw attempts. Derwin Hodge Jr. added 10 points while maintaining perfect field goal efficiency (3-for-3), showcasing the depth of the Bulldogs’ frontcourt. In contrast, Chicago State (1-2) struggled to find consistency, relying heavily on Mike Price, who poured in 26 points but could not overcome the team’s broader offensive stagnation.
The loss leaves the Cougars with a 1-2 record, while the Bulldogs remain undefeated heading into their next matchups. Both teams return to action Wednesday, with South Carolina State traveling to face Notre Dame and Chicago State visiting Cal Baptist. For the Bulldogs, maintaining this level of defensive intensity and shooting efficiency will be critical as they face a tougher schedule, whereas Chicago State must address their three-point struggles to remain competitive in the coming weeks.
