Illinois-Chicago already has won three more games than it did the entire 2015-16 season. The Flames are 8-4 ATS compared to Cleveland State, which is 5-11 and 4-10 ATS. The Vikings have lost six of their last eight games, including 83-75 at Northern Kentucky on Saturday when their leaky defense allowed the Norse a .519 shooting percentage. Rob Edwards scored 19 points and Demonte Flannigan added 14 points for Cleveland State, but they didn't get much help from their teammates. UIC lost a tough one-point decision to Oakland 58-57 on Sunday as the Flames' shooting went stone cold, making just 18-of-74 shots. Tarkus Ferguson scored a team-leading 15 points, but the only other player in double figures was Tai Odiase with 10 points. The Flames average a .441 field goal percentage for the season, which is better than the Vikings' 41.3 percent and UIC figures to bounce back in this matchup. UIC has covered five of its last six games and the Flames are 6-0 ATS against teams with losing records. Play Illinois-Chicago.
