SIU gets beat on a FT rebound and UIC goes in for a dunk
UIC goes up 11, everything is so easy
Is Rupert hurt? This is embarrassing
So much for blowing this game open so our starters could rest (like what Missouri State and Belmont did earlier today). Gonna need them all 40 minutes, which doesn't bode well for later (if there IS a later).
I think the announcers said SOMETHING like.....in 10 of the last 11 games between these teams, the score differential has been less than 10pts. I was not expecting a blow out, but I also was not expecting to get dominated here to this point. Quite surprised. Plenty of time to come back though.
UIC with ZERO turnovers... wow, this is pathetic. Down by 11 to a 20-loss team.
UIC is 14-23 (60.9%). Everything is at the rim. SIU is lucky UIC is 1-4 from the FT line.
Ebube's switching could use some work. He seems to be really struggling on D tonight.
We are watching a future star coach. Stop with all the negativity and appreciate it
Even if SIU musters up a comeback, which is still possible, they'll be gassed tomorrow and it'll probably be over quickly
Not many of us watching 🙁
Good start. Great shot selection. Tremendous D. Great coaching.
Big run comIng. I can feel it.
Another great defensive effort.
UIC 41
SIU 27
Halftime
41-27 at the half. UIC's gotten at least 26 points in the paint. It's a frickin' layup fest.
