Bradley opens its regular season tonight at home against the UIC Flames. UIC was 18-15 last season and 9-9 in the Horizon League, which was a tie for fourth place. They are led by preseason Horizon League player of the year Josh Mayo (17.1 points per game in 2007-08). Mayo made fellow point guard Daniel Ruffin look like about 5'2" after shredding the former Bradley standout for 34 points in last year's season opener at the UIC Pavilion.
Keys to the game:
Shut down Josh Mayo and Scott VanderMeer - might seem simple but these are two talented players and both Sam Maniscalco and David Collins (with Dodie Dunson at times) will need to help slow them both down.
Final score prediction:
UIC 74
BU 79
