The men open Horizon League play tonight at UIC.

The Flames enter with a 9-4 record.  UIC opened at 9-1 before losing their last 3.  They opened the season with a 59-52 win over UC Riverside, before losing to New Mexico 66-59 in the first round of the Virgin Islands Paradise Jam.  UIC finished the Paradise Jam with wins over Mercer 62-36 and Iona 86-81.

UIC ran off six more wins in a row:  SE Missouri State 56-45, at Northern Illinois 58-46, at Northwestern 50-44, Roosevelt 81-43, Colorado State (now 11-2) 64-55 and Eastern Michigan 74-48.

The three game losing streak has been on the road:  Western Illinois 70-54, Miami Ohio 82-70 and Toledo 74-55.

The Flames are very comfortable at home at 5-0.

Pomeroy has YSU 125th overall and gives YSU a 39% chance of winning.  Projection is a 66-63 UIC win.

Massey has YSU 143rd overall and gives YSU a 30% chance of winning.  Projection is 67-61 UIC win.

Both Pomeroy and Massey have YSU at 9-7 in the Horizon, 17-12 overall with the Bracket Buster game pending.

Sagarin rates UIC 84 and YSU 123.  His overall ratings makes UIC as 7 point favorite, Predictor ratings a 6 1/2 point favorite.  Both include the 4.15 home court advantage.

At the start of the season, this looked like the easiest road trip of the season.  UIC and Loyola have exceeded expectations and this trip will be a stern test for the Penguins.  Sign me up for 1-1 right now.  :)

Big game tonight. Let's see how they do on the road against what might be the best team in our conference

Dmorton:
Valpo is easily the best team in the conference followed by Detroit.   That doesn't mean we shouldn't win out fair share.  Or any other Horizon team for that matter.

ysufan0505:
Wow, we are ICE COLD shooting... And Eargle is so overrated. Bum

ysufan0505:
Total collapse to end the game.... Horrible
