This is an Oakland team that already beat Illinois-Chicago earlier this year if you remember by a score of 78-68 on the road so it's not inconceivable they beat them by the same margin or more at home. This is an Oakland team that comes off a terrible game where they only scored 51 points.

This team had scored 83, 92, 78, 81 and 95 points in 5 straight wins prior to that. So, talk about frustrating for a top 80 offense to be held to just 51 points. One way they can take out some frustration is against a team like Illinois-Chicago who is on the rise, who is 7-3 in conference play and who has an offense outside the top 280. Look for Oakland to bounce-back here on Friday Night behind a solid home crowd and get a big win.
