Illinois Chicago at Toledo

The Illinois Chicago Flames are now several years removed from making a splash in the Big Dance, and the program simply hasn't been able to rise back to that level. The danger signs of a bad season are already taking shape as this team lost to Quincy 65-61. The Rockets come in at 3-1 without any notable wins, but are a much deeper and well balanced team with four scoring in doubles, and eight players scoring 7+. They will wear down a not-so deep Flames team, and simply are the better club in this contest. The Flames lack the go-to guy with no one scoring as many as 11 per game. The Flames have dropped five straight when taking to the road after 3+ at home. The Rockets come in at 15-5-2 ATS in their last 22 as a favorite of less than 7. Toledo gets the call.
