**6-1 CBB YTD** EARLY SPECIAL -+$39K HOOPS
(NCAAB) UIC vs. Valparaiso,
Point Spread: -3.00 | -110.00 Valparaiso (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SPECIAL on Valparaiso.

Both teams are looking for their first victory of the season.

UIC lost 64-54 to Dayton on the road, led by 17 points from Zion Griffin. Valparaiso lost 69-61 to Toledo. Thomas Kithier had 16 points.

UIC head coach Luke Yaklich has had to replace his entire team from last year almost, and I think the Flames will have a difficult time keeping up today.

Valpo on the other hand has plenty of experienced talent returning this season. It's also 6-1 ATS in its last seven home games played on a Saturday, while UIC is a poor 3-8 ATS in its last 11 on the road.

I look for coach Matt Lottich to have his troops ready to defend home court.

Lay the points, the play is VALPARAISO.

Good luck, NP
