Oregon State (4-4) at UIC (1-6)--Daily Herald

When: 7 p.m. at UIC Pavilion

Radio: WMVP 1000-AM

Skinny: We're contractually obligated to start by mentioning Oregon State coach Craig Robinson (the former Northwestern assistant) is President Obama's brother-in-law. With that out of the way, please know the Beavers average 17.4 turnovers per game. That's way too many for the Princeton offense. Couple that with UIC's solid field-goal defense (39.9 percent) and there's a shot for the Flames to stay in the game. Alas, UIC needs to start making shots. According to kenpom.com, the Flames rank 334th out of 347 Div. I teams in offensive efficiency.

Loyola (6-2) at Bradley (5-3)

When: 7:05 p.m. at Carver Arena

Radio: WAUR 930-AM, WNTD 950-AM, WLUW 88.7-FM

Skinny: It's a battle between our state's most underrated teams. The Ramblers aren't flashy, but they stick to the fundamentals to get the shots they want in the halfcourt. Plus, high-flying sophomore guard Jordan Hicks returned to the court Saturday. He hit a 3-pointer in the first 20 seconds of his season debut, but little else during his 9 minutes. He should play more today. Bradley has played just twice since its 72-68 win over Illinois on Nov. 28. Taylor Brown, a 6-foot-6 sophomore forward, leads the Braves with 16.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game.
