I know this is a service plays forum and all but I have a 'heads up play' for CBB tonight. Take a look at C. Michigan -2 over U of Illinois-Chicago. UIC is flat out not good. They lost an opening season exhibition to a local D2 team at home. They recently had a closed door scrimmage vs. Chicago St and lost that game by 20 points. Meantime, C. Michigan is picked to win the MAC by many....UIC picked to finish 9th in their conference, which may be generous. The UIC program sounds as if it is in shambles. I'm betting this large. Please don't tail and then come look for me so that you can pee on me while your bodyguard holds a gun to my head, if this pick somehow loses. (Two for the Money reference). Anyway, I leave you with a little tid bit from UIC:
The Flames lost leaders Josh Mayo and Scott VanderMeer. Mayo is the school's No. 4 scorer (1,718 points) and the 7-foot VanderMeer led the Horizon League in rebounding and broke the conference record for blocked shots. Three other key contributors with eligibility remaining also left the team (Tori Boyd, Rob Eppinger and Jovan Ignjatovic) and point guard Spencer Stewart is facing an indefinite suspension for breaking team rules.
Other than Kreps, the top returning scorers are senior forward Jeremy Buttell (4.7 points per game) and sophomore forward Jelani Poston (3.7).
A whopping 11 newcomers are on campus this season for the Flames, picked to finish ninth in the Horizon League preseason poll.
Potential starters from the group include freshman point guard Corey Gray of Missouri City, Texas, 6-7 junior forward Brad Birton from South Suburban (Ill.) College and 6-11 junior center K.C. Robbins from Southwestern Illinois College.
