Robert Morris vs UIC Prediction
I’ll stick with UIC. We’ll get a better look at the Flames potential during this game, as they’re coming off a blowout win versus an overmatched opponent in St. Francis IL. During that victory, UIC shot an excellent 58 percent from the field, a tepid 24 percent (5-of-21) from 3-point range and a mediocre 70 percent (19-of-27) from the line. The good news is that the Flames owned the boards 40-21 and had just nine turnovers.
As for Rob Morris, they got blasted by Nevada in their opener this week, shooting just 27 percent from the field and 17 percent (3-of-18) from 3-point range. The Colonials got outmuscled on the boards 47-32 and had 19 turnovers, but did do well from the line at 87 percent (20-of-23). Needless to say, Robert Morris needs to get that shooting percentage up and cut down the mistakes in game two if they want to be competitive.
