Fens 0 minutes. Man I thought he was one of the more high profile big we have gotten in years. What a shame.

Official attendance was 1265. Shocked if there were more than 300, and some of those were GB fans. Outside of the band, not a single person sitting in the 3 sections opposite the curtain…not 1.
If you watched the game, their PG Reynolds absolutely had his way with us. He drove at will and finished at the rim - something we didn’t do. UIC wants to cutoff the 3, but if a guard is simply driving for layups every time down the court, you have to make adjustments at some point. Per usual, we did not. Why not try Fens near the basket? He’s shown the ability to defend the paint, at least. 4th year Yak getting schooled by a former league foe and rookie HC at home.
It’s just another embarrassing loss in a long line of embarrassing loses over the years. I mean, last place preseason HL team…you have got to be kidding me. When we weren’t making threes, we looked like trash…couldn’t manufacture anything. GB played real tough defense against us…have to give them credit. Timely missed FTs hurt as well. Home games are just tough for us. We play better on the road. There is no energy at home. Nobody in the seats, at best…massively outnumbered at worst. It’s a real chicken and the egg situation where the team could use fans to help them win, but they need to win to get fans. We’re stuck in limbo and can’t get out.
I think we can all come back down to earth now. We should be 8-2. Now we’re 6-4 and probably out of the top 100 NET. In a resurgence year for the Valley, we just did our part to help ruin it.

What player wants to come here to play for 250 fans in a silent stadium?

I like the wood floor logos, the jumbo tron graphics, the starting lineup introductions and the white uniforms. Like the chicago theme uniforms. Everything else sucked. Hotdog was over priced and was more cold than hot. Luke warm at best. Get better hotdogs at thronton gas station. Nachos cheese was trash too. Jalapeños were spicy today too. Just bad day at concessions for me. 35 dollars at concessions and was not happy.There was no fans which made it werid to me. I got to sit in a few sections which I liked but no energy at game. No students even if it is at winter break. Saw game had a 13 point spread. Thought it be a big crowd and fun. Was not that. Was in town visiting now that I am in Nebraska... I was not thinking this would be like a cornhuskers game in Lincoln but was blown away how different it is even though they are both D1 Programs that try to reach for ncaa tournament.... other cool thing to do if anyone cares. The christmas mart downtown was awesome. Real cool and get the perogies from the food truck. Way cheaper then 35 dollars and were amazing... best part of the uic game was it was indoors and building had heat. Worse part of christmas mart my toes were frozen from the cold... looking forward to seeing more basketball in the future... will follow from far maybe back in town again for business in February and will try again if time allows....

Any idea why Clay and Kennedy played a combined 17 min??! Kennedy should’ve gotten more minutes, but candidly Clay just looked bad. Had a nice take early on but had a rough game both ways. As for the game they could’ve either doubled or at least shaded 21 to the basket and they win by 10. A simple coaching adjustment that I don’t understand why it wasn’t made. My only theory is Yak thought they’d win so he was using it as a learning experience and got burned. It was that obvious.
