Know Your Foe - The Cheese is Under the Sauce
UIC is 2-14, 1-10 in the Horizon League. The Flames' one league win came over Detroit Mercy, a 68-64 win on the road on December 4. The Mastodons beat the Flames earlier this year in a 69-63 win in Fort Wayne, in which three Flames scored in double-digits. Jaida McCloud is leading UIC with 14.6 points per game.
The Series
UIC has a 4-3 advantage in the all-time series dating back to 2001. The Flames took the first three games and the Mastodons have won three of the last four. The two teams have only met once as league foes, which the 'Dons won earlier this season. This will be the second and final time the two teams play each other as Horizon League foes.
A Win Would...

• Be the Mastodons' fifth League win, their most since 2013-14
• Tie the most wins against Division I competition in a season since 2015-16
• Give the Mastodons a season sweep over the Flames
• Snap a four-game losing skid
So Long, Partner

The Flames announced on January 26, 2021 that they would be leaving the league to join the Missouri Valley Conference on July 1, 2022.
