    UIC lost competitive games to Radford and Notre Dame. Will be a different challenge than the W&M game.

    Re: Game Thread - University of Illinois at Chicago Flames

    From their Radford boxscore, they have 2 guards who like to shoot, and shoot 3s.  I dont feel afraid as in years past after seeing TDM, Wade and Sincere playing out front, they are quick as cats.
    If we can defend their 2 scorers somewhat, and maybe dominate down low, maybe we can get another W.

    to call the notre dame game competitive would be misleading. they were doubled up at half time and down more than 30 at one point. against radford they were down by nearly 20 until a couple 3s in garbage time.

    notre dame killed them inside and radford killed them shooting 3s. lets see if we can do either.

    Upon further review, you are correct. I just looked at the final score. Still could be a tricky game though. They are picked third in the horizon league.

    Haha Dukes2012 you're a gentleman and a scholar! I will admit that I had this as definitely an OOC win but good guards gave us problems at times last year! Go Dukes

    I'll give you this much, I thought they would be awful like a 300+ team and they're definitely not. I wouldn't sleep on UIC anymore.

    I'm afraid that this could be a letdown game. I have the Dukes pegged to lose at least 1 game to someone stupid in non-con. I hope this one isn't it.

    Go Dukes

    Re: Game Thread - University of Illinois at Chicago Flames

    Pretty cool, with ESPN+ you can watch past games for teams we play against. I saw the Radford UIC game is on there. May try to watch a little before the game. They have a lot of internationals, and based on their stats they look guard oriented with a big man who looks like a solid scorer. From Ireland and played at that Canarias basketball academy, same as Kadeem Pantophlet. Put in 12 against Notre Dame.

    I don’t expect this to be a gimme but basically expect to win. Like Dambrot said, “this is a team that a good A10 should beat.” Love the honesty!

    Rest of this game should be a good test. See how they deal with adversity.

    Story of the game so far is they are absolutely killing us on the offensive glass.

    Awful first half.  Why is Lewis sitting the entire game?  The only player who looks competent currently is Sincere Carry.

    Bizau looking super nervous.  Literally unable to hold on to the ball.  Carry is a beast.
