Man, what a game. Another heart-attack ending, but we closed it out. My only complaint is the inbounding. Stunning to me that we still can’t inbound against a press. But other than that, how about the FT shooting?! And kudos to Marquise for making all 8 in his first game back. Clutch performance that we desperately needed. JHood, Kenny, and Yak are fired up for sure in the postgame.
Great win! Great collective job by the group.

Favorite Loyola memory - beat them on a game winning 3-point shot by Aaron Carr in Rogers Park. We stormed the court. That was fun! I HATE Loyola You guys stormed the court AT loyola? I wish I was a fan at that time We did. Damn, in those days, had some pretty heated Loyola games.

This one feels great. We definitely look like we’ll be more competitive than last year. Maybe we can finish between 6th and 8th in the valley. Be a good one year jump.

Yes!!! Finally!!! Missed 80% of the game so I can’t comment on who did what. But per usual this team just cannot seem to inbound the basketball at the end of the game. Unlike previous years, finally there are guys who can step up to the line and close the door. Great finish by Kennedy and Rivera, thank you! Nice to see some excitement on this board. Let’s go!!

Some fun facts. The last time UIC won at Gentile:
- Osama Bin Laden and Michael Jackson were still alive. - The iPad did not exist. - Windows 7 was not yet released. - The Burj Khalifa (tallest building in world) had not yet been built. - We were in the midst of the Great Recession. - The Blackhawks had not yet won the Stanley Cup with Toews, Kane, etc.
It’s been a long time!

Favorite Loyola memory - beat them on a game winning 3-point shot by Aaron Carr in Rogers Park. We stormed the court. That was fun! I HATE Loyola Let me try that again. Been following the board for a while, was hyped after the game tonight and finally wanted to post. And remembering that Carr game winner and rushing the court at Gentile was a great memory in college for me too, that and Banks' buzzer beater in Cleveland to win the conference were incredible moments, back in the day when we owned Loyola. Nice to finally have a performance tonight to be proud of, Yak looks like he's finally got a roster that can compete in the Valley. I can definitely get why there's so much negativity on this board, hard not to be with the recent state of this program, hopefully tonight is the springboard toward where we all feel our basketball program should be, and where it was 20 yrs ago when it was a blast to be a Flames fan. Looking forward to joining the conversation more on here, hopefully with more positive results on the floor to come.

Most of us on here are diehard long time fans. Its easy to come on here and say there is too much negativity yet when they are losing we have like 5 people on here commenting. Needless to say I am excited about this team and the season now. Wins like that make me want to attend as many games as possible Go Flames!
