The Line: Betting Odds: UIC -9.5 — Over/Under: +144.5
The Detroit Mercy Titans and UIC Flames meet Monday in the college basketball action at the Credit Union 1 Arena. Here’s a Detroit Mercy vs UIC Prediction. This article will include a Detroit Mercy vs UIC Pick.
The Detroit Mercy Titans won 8 games last season and enter year two under coach Mark Montgomery. Detroit has won a combined 9 games in the last two seasons.
Orlando Lovejoy returns after averaging 16.4 points and 3.8 assists, while Jared Lary averaged 9.1 points and 4 rebounds. TJ Nadeau averaged 8.9 points and 0.6 assists, and Nate Johnson played in 954 minutes last season. While eight wins may not feel like a lot, Detroit greatly improved last season and returns a great deal of last year’s production. There’s reason to be excited for Detroit basketball this season in terms of the direction of the program, and this squad should push for double-digit wins for the first time since the 2022-23 season.
The UIC Flames won 17 games last year and enter the second season under coach Rob Ehsan. UIC has won double-digit games in each of the last four years.
Ahmad Henderson ii returns after averaging 11.5 points and 2.6 assists, while Jayce Nathaniel averaged 4.3 points and 3.3 rebounds. Those are the only two returning players for UIC this season, so there are a lot of new faces on this roster. The good news is that Henderson has proven he’s capable of leading the way, as he’s been a double-digit scorer in back-to-back seasons. UIC has won double-digit games in 8 of the last 9 seasons, and this season should be no different.
Neither Detroit Mercy nor UIC have a player listed on its injury report.
UIC is the more talented team and has a history of winning over the last decade, while Detroit is still trying to make a name for itself. However, this is a lot of points for a UIC team that brings back just two players from last year. Detroit has less question marks with its returning production and has to feel good about itself after last year’s improvements. It’s baby steps, but it’s progress. Detroit has to be excited about this spot. I’ll grab the points with the road dog.
