Illinois Chicago had to go overtime to beat Little Rock 77-69 on Sunday while shooting only 41 percent and hitting just six of 28 3-pointers. Now the Flames travel to Seattle to face the Redhawks, who have split their past eight games and look to rebound from a road loss to Western Kentucky. Seattle has been picked as a contender in the WAC, and Matthew-Alexander Moncreiffe leads three double-figure scorers with 13.9 points per game. The Redhawks have balanced scoring, with the five starters averaging 9.2-13.9 points. UIC is 0-4 ATS against teams with below .400 winning percentages and 1-7 ATS in its past eight games versus teams with losing records. Seattle has won its past five Friday home games, and UIC has covered two of its past six games. Take Seattle.
