Loyola Chicago at Illinois Chicago

The Ramblers come into this one at 11-5 which certainly is above expectations from this team. They have shared the wealth with six players all averaging between 6-12 points per night, all capable of a 10+ performance, so it will be hard to key-in on any one player. The Flames have really struggled and own just four wins vs. Div-1 competition. The biggest problem is their inability to put the ball in the hoop, with five of their top seven scorers connecting on 41% or less. They also have no one to stretch the defense as the same group in the top seven scorers shows not a single player hitting better than 31% from deep. Sagging defenses make for a lot of empty trips, and the offense is generating less than 10 assists a game. The Ramblers have always been the talent-shy team in this matchup, but now they have the edge and I'll go with Loyola, Illinois here.
