I'll be there. I would hate to miss this one if we win.

Mayo needs to give the ball to someone else! He is 0-6! Please give somebody else a chance! We have nver been all about Mayo...until now! Please get back to a balanced offense.

Typical UIC...shoot lights out in previous games, and then can't buy a bucket (especially Mayo) at Depaul, a game every UIC fan has been wanting to play and win for years. Somehow, we are ahead at half.
The radio announcers are of the belief that we are on the bad end of some very bad calls. Even if this is the case, we need to shoot a little better in ther 2nd half, because I expect a 2nd half similar to a couple years ago from Depaul...
Nice game by Kreps so far...

BigD,
Go to the DePaul site and listen to the game. It is way better! It is an actual professional broadcast and not the clowns on the crap station that now broadcast UIC games. Plus, you are about 10 minutes behind if you aren't listening to the DePaul broadcast.

Flames win 85-80! Nice win. The better team won tonight, no doubt. Next year, they have to come to the Pavilion too. I have a hunch it will be 2 years in a row! Yikes!!!

Wow...congrats to UIC on a great win....and it's especially great because it's a Chicago team that has been dodging us for years. Depaul is not very good, and we should've beat them in 04 too if it weren't for the career game for Greer....
I stopped listening to the game about halfway through the 2nd half but now I regret it....sounds like our starters really came through....big games from Robo, Mayo, Vandy, and the Stew....Dailey had some nice defense as well...
Again, congrats to UIC...and I hope we can keep the momentum going to help the Horizon with wins next week against Howard and Toledo. I am impressed....
Can anyone give a brief recap? Did we just come up with the big plays at the right time, or was it not as close as the score indicated?

This is a comment from a Demon fan:
Re: Interesting Comment Made by UIC Fan
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perspective is an interesting thing. As we have said on this board many times, respect comes with victories. If UIC goes out and beats us tonight, they deserve the props. But this is where you have to be careful if you are a UIC fan. If you dis our program and then we smack you tonight, you need to sit down and shut up until next year.
Demonlove- looked for you last Saturday but could not find you. As ugly as it was, I could have used a familiar face.
Since we have now "dissed" their program, they must now shut up for a whole year. At least, according to this guy.
I don't really care. DePaul isn't that good anyway. This is a game we should have won and did. Who got smacked tonight?

The replay will be short. DePaul missed layup...missed dunk...missed three... and over and over again.

Looking at the box score, we didn't even need a great shooting game to beat them at Allstate. We shoot 48% from the field, 40% from three, and 70% from the line....nice to see we didn't have to have the game of our lives to beat them. Granted, they shot pretty bad, but from the sounds of things (or at least what I listened to), our defense surely played a part in this. With all their size, we could've easily gone down early...but we fought the whole way...and how about Kreps? The guy is showing why he was 2nd in Mr. Basketball...
Hope this gives us tons of confidence....it should...
For all you Flames fans that were there, it must've been great. And by the way, it sounded like we had some fan presence there? Any estimates on the percentage of UIC fans?

Just got back from a great win. We definitely had a more vocal and enthusiastic crowd than Depaul. We were a bit scattered but were a presence. Its a shame the weather was so bad that it kept the crowd down but its totally understandable. We got some big rebounds and made some big free throws at the end to ice it. This team is different from the last few years in that they do play TEAM ball . This could be a very interesting year.

Yeah the crowd was scattered around but between the Stomper, The crazy Jovan fan, and about six hard core students sitting in front of us and one fan that came over too us at half time, we owned the All-State tonight. By far one of the funniest games we have played and nothing like taking over a building, much like UWM did to us for years.
What to say? We played very well when we needed to. Kreps is looking like that runner up to Mr. Basketball. Even in a bad day Mayo puts in 18. Buttel comes up huge, Vandy was good, Dailey great job on the blocks. Stew had a great game, hell even White Jr. had a hell of a start. This team is something else this year. We are so much better then we have been since the early Banks era. What a team this year.
Good call Hoopsfan should have listened to you about this team!

it was "very nice" being at there tonight. SLOPPY game on both parts, including about a million fouls called in the second half. We fans held our own, for sure. The arena was soooo quiet if were weren't cheering. The only time the 90% DePaul crowd got on their feet was when they hit a 3, or their little "two clap" salute to a free-throw shooter.
