Open the season tonight @ Loyola. Were up 28-7 and allowed Loyola back in the game. Up 31-20 at the half. Let’s take it to them in the second and get a convincing road win.

Great first quarter but same issues of last year, letting go of the gas pedal. The defense is great just need to stay consistent with the offense.

Flames beat Loyola 67-51.
Nice win, closer than I expected, This Loyola team is bad and we played down to their level. Great defensively and good offense in the 2nd half. Flames will play Northwestern this Thursday.

Need big ten + to watch tonight’s game against Northwestern so I’m not watching live unfortunately. But the Flames are up 44-30 at half. Love to see it!

This team is so much better than last year offensively, 44 points in a half is great. We just need to not let go of the gas pedal. This would be a big win! LETS GO FLAMES!

Uhm. What the heck happened to this team in Q3? Outscored 27-8 and we are losing?

The women will not be great until they show some consistency. Last year they would go through spells where they just couldnt score. They did it again in Q2 against Loyola. Then a 28 to 7 Q3 against NW. We were up big and just like that we’re down. Coach says this team can score but not if you go through slumps like that.

This is just a UIC problem, both teams struggle to keep scoring and just shut down |

And I guess bad FT shooting is just a UIC staple too.
Tied with 2 minutes left and we miss both FTs. Yikes.

Down by 1 and we get 2 FTs with 17 seconds left and of course miss one. Glad we made the second and tied it up even.

“Chicago’s College Team”
Great marketing, but can’t beat other Chicago teams.

And UIC women’s team is regressing this season as well. Lost at home today to 4-15 Valparaiso. Super.
They’re now 12-9 and 5-5 in the MVC.
What a crap athletic program this is all around.

Pull up the last play of the game if you want to see pure incompetence. The men are terrible but I have never seen such a poorly-executed defensive play in my life. I imagine it was more execution than coaching…at least I hope so…all the ladies had to do was force a bad shot with 1.5 seconds left. Instead, our defender played aggressive and went for a steal when all she had to do was stay in front of their opponent and force them to shoot. Turned out to be an easy layup as the defender missed on her gamble and the help defender wasn’t paying attention either. Is it just me or have we been riddled with low IQ play for years in our basketball programs? |
