Really needed victory,really good defense 2nd half. We held valpo without a point for 8mins. The teams were really into the game, everyone wanted this game. The atmosphere was also really good people were into the game. The refereeing was a little suspect. I would like to see Cj be a little more consistent and take the next step.

I would say half Valpo fans This actually ranks 3rd this season in attendance at home: Little Rock: 2,593 Illinois State: 2,090 Valpo: 1,689 Aurora: 1,530 Western Michigan: 1,329 Green bay: 1,265 Incarnate World: 1,154 While I agree that attendance is not where is should be, early in the season attendance and student attendance was high.

The crowd wasn’t awful. There were a good amount of Valpo fans, but also a really really good amount of UIC fans. I know that we all want to see 4000+ at each game, but we need to work ourselves towards that. Additionally, students are still not complete on campus as winter break is wrapping up.
A few notes:
I can’t believe we got out rebounded by as much as we did.
Ojukwu needs more PT. He came in and was aggressive. He had a bad play and got taken out after but he’s young and shows promise
Did Fens play at all?
I noticed Okani on the end of the bench in a hoodie too. Not sure what was up with that.
The beers are expensive. $12 for a Michelob Ultra!
The Lagunitas Lounge is gone. Tonight it was a Valpo alumni outing deck.
Rivera was our offense tonight. Need more consistent younger players step up. CJ showed signs. Clay got some PT but didn’t see much late.
An ugly win but a win
Was there a scuffle between teams at the end of the half? Saw the refs standing between and seemed like something might have been heated.
Little Joes in Taylor has amazing tacos
Hawkeyes is still my choice for pregame. The nachos appetizer is a good deal.

The good? We won.
The bad? Terrible performance.
The only thing clear to me is that UIC will be battling for last place until Yak is gone…possibly along with Valpo. I noticed that Powell has implemented the UIC offense of out of control, high-tempo chaos. They won’t be winning with that…just like we can’t win with it.
Barely squeaked one out at home against a bad team. Moneyline on opponent to win from here on out is a guaranteed winner over the long haul!

Also, the tickets are ridiculous. There was a promotion I saw on Instagram for $20.24 tickets with the code. It was online online only so had to go through Ticketmaster. After fees, it was $24.50.
Bought tickets at the window for $18.
Come on.

Little Joes in Taylor has amazing tacos. Spot on! The birria tacos are incredible. I think a lady that runs a food truck cooks out of their kitchen. I was there for like 4 hours after the Incarnate Word game. Give me a jukebox and Golden Tee and I’m good to go. Drinks were solid as well. Miss Joe, but the upgrades are welcome.

I didn’t have the birria ones (next time) but some chorizo and al pastor. Both wonderful. Good beer prices too. I agree - still have a soft spot for the old Joe’s but nice to see what they’ve done with the place.

Ojukwu does need to play more. He is aggressive and can shoot a bit and has some size. I've said this all along why can't we try some high low with Skobalj and Fens or Brownell at Fens. We got destroyed on boards you can't tell me fens playing ten minutes can't get 5 boards. Camfan any insight to what is going on? Agree on Jones he seems to have leveled off, He's got a shaky jumper and doesn't create much. How is it we have 0 post game? Side to side basketball is easy to defend. Okani and Kennedy were under the weather a bit. We need a PG badly. I think you give Kennedy more minutes he can be a huge X factor.. Rivera is a heck of a player but needs to take better shots. The defense was bad until the final 10 minutes. As for the crowd UIC John said no students whatsoever. They used to bus kids in from neighborhoods which gave a big boost to crowd. Can't they get parents and travel teams some incentive to come too? I mean it is D 1 college hoops. Oh well another L coming up at N Iowa.
