The skinny: The Ramblers and the Flames are mathematically eliminated from the chase for a Horizon League tournament first-round home game, but that doesn’t mean they won’t attack each other full-force in this rematch of Loyola’s 68-59 home win on Jan. 22. Ramblers senior Geoff McCammon (69 3-pointers) needs 7 more 3-pointers to break Derek Molis’ single-season record — and he hit 5 in the teams’ first meeting this year. UIC senior Robo Kreps went for 19 points in the first meeting, which triggered a late-season flurry. In the last seven games, Kreps has averaged 21.9 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 45 percent from the field and 34 percent on 3s.
