Well, thank goodness we win

[mustangxc]

A win is a win is a win! 8-2

[DanFreibergerForHeisman]

Obviously nowhere close to our best effort but nice to see us step up and close it out.

[LHS81]

YAY! Good guys win. . . Also glad #45, Kelsey Barlow is a senior. SMU had no answer to defend him

[Pony ^]

happy to get out of there with a W. Take Barlow out and it would have been a whole different ballgame

[FriscoChuck]

Great win Mustangs!

[Mustangsabu]

Nice to have the win and we kept them at bay but it was a 40 minute effort.

[Stallion]

did Cunnigham miss the bus or something. Moreia studying during bench breaks. That was an odd substitution pattern tonite but we survived. I'd like to sneak Barlow back in the suitcase

[Pony ^]

Vegas never ceases to amaze me.

This.

How in the world does Vegas do it? They hit it right on the dot.

Seemed to emphasize the Chicago kids.

Many lessons to be learned tonight. This is the quality of game we need to keep on progressing. Certainly beats the Doh non-conference schedule and learning process.

any road win is a good win and UIC has some talent; biggest disappointment for me was how some guys seemed to tighten up as this game went into crunch time. Quick passes looking to give the ball up, some alligator arm shots, etc...doesn't bode well for our chances on the road in conference

one thing for sure...we need Nic Moore on the floor. Can't wait for E-Man to arrive next year so we have 2 guys who will be comfortable with the ball in their hands at crunch time

[GiddyUp]

Holy S that Barlow kid is awesome, thats about all they got - yes, awful turnovers in the end when it was close - dumb

[Charleston Pony]

another thing to remember...as coach Brown said "our schedule looks like an NBA schedule right now with 4 games in a week's time and travel". UIC played with more energy than our guys

[Hoop Fan]

That's a good win. Started our Illinois boys in front of their family and friends and got the road W.
Mission accomplished.
