Illinois Chicago at SMU

The SMU Mustangs have an experienced team, and have started the season at 6-3. Illinois Chicago played three games without their leading scorer Jay Harris, and they have certainly been better with him. The Flames boast nine players that have drained at least one three-pointer, and could find some openings outside the arc here. Illinois Chicago has a huge advantage from the line with three of their top five scorers all connecting on 80% or more, and their top five scorers all hit 72% or more. This game has a long line, and knocking down free throws at a high rate will hold them inside the number. The Flames played SMU tough last year, losing by just 8. Play on Illinois Chicago.
