Generally, upsets can happen early in the season when teams are still getting to know each other. Unfortunately, UIC usually starts the season as if they haven’t practiced a single time while making the opponent look like they’ve been playing together for years. Loss to Cincy by 18. Loss to Loyola by 22. Those will sandwich a win at home against Little Rock.

I don't know what to expect. I think it depends on if they somehow can play disciplined basketball. Fens will need to take a big leap forward as well. Having a big with talent that can score and rebound makes such a huge difference on any team.

I just feel like the MVC still is a whole other level for us. Teams are getting those recruits we are being named a finalist for. Murray State got a 4-star and 3-star just this weekend alone. Also, others are destroying their exhibition opponents and we had a slim halftime lead.
Just not confident. I hope I’m wrong. All preseasons have is at 9/10 with Evansville and Valpo 11-12. We are in a middle that can have movement with Illinois State, SIU, and teams of that like in the middle.
We need to make a jump to middle of the pack. We just must.

Really depends on how much improvement the guys had over the off season. Not too confident in the talent we brought in from the transfer portal

Is Kennedy healthy? What's his injury anyway?

I saw we had nobody listed on the injury report so should be good to go.
