We had almost 20-point scored on us off of turn-overs. Our bench production was much better than UIC's

What a shame!  Dismal start to Horizon league play!

Seems like the lack of a big man really hurts.  Also watched on line and the announcers from Illinois Chicago new exactly what we were going to do during the end of game timeout with KP.  Must be very predictable at game end which may be hurting us.
