Why the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles will win

  • UIC has lost five of its last six games against non-AP-ranked opponents at a neutral venue.

Why the UIC Flames will win

  • Southern Indiana has lost 21 of its last 24 games against non-Conference opponents.
  • UIC has won four of its last five day games against non-Conference opponents.

UIC vs Southern Indiana Prediction 

Both of these teams lost their last game in the Boardwalk Battle, but they will have a chance to end with some momentum here. UIC is shooting 49% from the field and they have scored at least 80 points in three of their five games. Southern Indiana is looking for their first D1 win of the season and they are shooting just 40% from the field. The Screaming Eagles have allowed at least 87 points in three of their five games and I just can’t trust this defense. Take UIC to cover here.
