This UIC team that is SOOOO bad had a lead on UWGB at home in final minute and was within a bucket on the road at UWGB in final 2 minutes. They also led Illinois by 10-12 at half this year. They are a really bad second half team and we found a way to win.
No Weber, who is arguably our 2nd best player. Huge game Thursday. Win and we will have a war for the final home game in the tourney.
How'd those games turn out??? They are 5-20, enough said. I mean c'mon, facts are facts. They are a bad team, and we barely beat them. We are trending downhill all because of one man.
Yes facts are facts. We WON. Anyone whose followed UIC this year knows they are a great first half team and a bad second half team... If you watched their game against CSU you would have seen the same exact thing. At the end of the day we won and are tied for 6th in the league.
Furthermore, UWGB took CSU to the woodshed today too. Don't be fooled by the 14 point outcome, it was around 16-20 most of the game. Sometimes you just got to chalk one up as a bad loss. That game Thursday was our bad loss, just like last year we lost by 41 to Detroit.
And two of those other three losses were by 1 and 2, and those are facts. We aren't consistently getting blown out. This league from 2-8 has a lot of parity with UWGB and UIC picking up the front and the rear. If you think were the only team that has had a slump this year, think again.
Thursday is a biggie. Seeing KP take over was big. Expect him to have a big final stretch.
Go YSU
