Did I see that right, the box score shows only 9 personal fouls for the game with Vik only having 3. I didn't watch the game; was that the competition, the refs were swallowing the whistle, or were our players simply in the right position to not foul while playing in control?

Steve Logan made his debut on 700 WLW. He did a pretty good job.

Was wondering if we’re going to have to endure
ESPN + all year again ? Thought that would
change once in the Big XII ?

Wel it is great to watch the Cats again. I was also happy listening to the knowledge Terry Nelson has brought to the game. So much mature insight. First game sloppiness, but serious rim protection problems. This won't do against Kansas, but hopefully help is on the way. Good to see Josh Reed in the game. Skillings looks stronger and I enjoyed his game. Frederick played better d then we were told and he can shoot. Overall, I like the two new point guards and looking forward to overall second game improvement on Friday. Again, happy to see the Cats back in action and to get the win.

UIC's Okani ate UC alive. They had nobody capable of guarding him. After tonight's performance, we REALLY need Bandago to protect the rim and Reynolds for an extra body on defense. Why no Griffith?

Game MVP: Day Day Thomas

[BearKatz]

I'm going to reserve any criticism tonight.. On one of the timeouts they had the cameras on Griffith and the female announcer made a statement in regards to practicing prior to tonight's game... almost made it sound like Griffith has not practice hard enough and therefore he's not on the court.. or was I hearing it wrong?

[Rufus]

Any development in Lahkin's game is very subtle, don't see any thing overwhelming.
Defense still a work in progress can't believe they allowed this team to stay in it son late.
We need Reynolds and Bandaogo ror rebounding if nothing else.
Really impressed with Day Day but no Griffith sighting,
wondering why.
First game of year so still sloppy yet. Going to bed now

[GoBearcats31]

Thomas has hops… and feels like a more talented and skilled Mike Saunders

[GoBearcats31]

Fredrick injury watch begins

[GoBearcats31]

Shillings and Lakhin have forced some 3s

[GoBearcats31]

0 blocks so far. UIC has several.

[BearKatz]

Fredrick can definitely shoot..

Where is Griffith?

[Rufus]

Can't believe Lukosius has only seen just a couple minutes.

[Rufus]

Time to display the superiority of the talent and start to run away with this
