The Robert Morris Colonials and UIC Flames face off on Friday in a college basketball showdown at the UIC Pavilion. 

Robert Morris got out to a slow start to the season but coming into this game they are playing better having won two of their last three games. In the last game against MIlwaukee the defense stepped up enough to win 67-64. On the season, Robert Morris is averaging 77.4 points per game while their defense is giving up 81.8 points per game.Robert Morris is shooting 47.6 percent from the field and 40.2 percent from behind the three point line. AJ Bramah has been the best player for Robert Morris and on the season he is averaging 21.2 points per game while shooting 55.9 percent from the field and 82.1 percent from the free throw line. 

On the other side of this matchup is the UIC Flames and they currently sit with a 5-4 record overall but they have lost two games in a row. Each of the last two games, the UIC Flames have failed to cover the spread. In the last game against Purdue Fort Wayne, the offense managed only 55 points while the defense gave up 88 points and that led to the defeat. On the season, UIC is averaging 71.7 points per game while their defense is giving up 73 points per game. Teyvion Kirk has been the best player for the UIC Flames and on the season he is averaging 15 points per game while shooting 42.9 percent from the field. 

The over is 11-2 in Robert Morris’s last 13 games overall. The under is 6-2 in Robert Morris’s last eight games played on Friday. The under is 8-2 in UIC’s last 10 games played on Friday. ‘

Robert Morris is probably the more talented team, but I don’t trust them to cover this number on the road. In this game, look for UIC to at least keep the game close, and don’t be shocked if they pull the upset. Back UIC to cover this spread.
