Scouting: UIC at Northern Illinois
UIC (4-6) at Northern Illinois (2-4)
When: 7 p.m. at Convocation Center
Radio: WLBK 1360-AM

Skinny: The Huskies had 11 days off for finals, so they should be eager (if not rusty) for this visit from the Flames. This game should be an intriguing mix of styles as UIC plays much better on defense than offense, but NIU much prefers the offensive end to the defensive end of the floor. Huskies senior Xavier Silas ranks second nationally in scoring (26.3 ppg). Another contrast in styles? First-year UIC coach Howard Moore prefers to ride his starters while NIU coach Ricardo Patton tends to mix and match during games to try to find the right combination.
