Photos of Chicago College Basketball Seniors

Things have been light here over the past weekend because I was at MIT’s Sloan Sports Analytics Conference in Boston this weekend. I have some new ideas from the conference that I’m going to use in the analysis during the off-season here, but obviously there was a lot to talk about over the weekend. I’ll... Read more »

UIC Season Epilogue

Jeremy Buttell’s presence in the paint will be missed next season at UIC. It is difficult for things to end. And even if that thing has been difficult, trying and unfortunate, it doesn’t really help the pain. Fans of UIC will learn that lesson now as possible the worst season in Flames history ended with...

UIC loses at Milwaukee, Flames to play Panthers in Horizon League Tournament

Jeremy Buttell scored 16 points and grabbed 6 boards, but the Flames fell to Milwaukee at the Pavilion in their final regular season game. Apparently two wins is the maximum amount of prosperity the UIC Flames can stand at any one time. The Flames had a chance against Milwaukee to get their first three-game winning... Read more »

Bracket Busters bring Chicago mixed results

The BracketBusters game brought Loyola and UIC different results. Even though both were on the road, the Flames got a road win at Missouri Valley Conference bottom-feeder Evansville, while the Ramblers couldn’t handle the inside game of Creighton in Omaha. Robo Kreps (left earlier this season against DePaul) hit a shot with 4.4 seconds remaining... Read more »

Tempo-free oddities

How Michael Thompson manages to play all those minutes while throwing himself at the basket like this is tough to figure out. He’s a tough guy. Since I already wrote about tempo-free predictions earlier today I thought I would continue the discussion with some interesting notes about player statistics that you can find by going...

UIC stuns Oregon State

When Craig Robinson agreed to play UIC at the Pavilion, he probably thought he’d be getting a nice game in the city where his coaching career began. As the Flames struggled to a 1-6 record to start the season, including a six game losing streak, it probably looked even sweeter. And then Wednesday night happened... Read more »

Strong defense, questionable offense the calling card of the Flames

Robo Kreps is struggling with being the focal point of the Flames offense. Jimmy Collins appears to have found the identity of his UIC team. Youth, energy and intensity abound on the Flames and they are going to use it to become a stalwart defensive team. The question though is can UIC score enough points... Read more »
