•UIC was picked to finish third in the Horizon League's preseason poll and is coming off semifinal appearances in the conference tournament and the CBI. The Flames, who went 17-19, were two wins away in the league tournament from making the NCAA tournament.Men’s basketball picked third in preseason poll--UIC News
That record marked a major improvement from their 5-25 mark in coach Steve McClain's first season in 2015-16.
Adding former Illinois and Proviso East great Dee Brown to the staff has city hoop heads talking too.
...
Coaches notice each other's recruiting and development. McClain said he has felt teams in the city have been turning a corner since last season.
"You had a group of coaches who felt like they were tracking in the right direction," he said. "It had been a while since even coaches felt they were tracking that way. When you look at the success at the end of the year for every program in here, there were bright spots. It is a great time in the city for all of the universities."

There are also road trips to Utah and UCF and the annual rivalry game against Illinois in St. Louis. They won’t play in the Big 12/SEC Challenge, and while most of the remaining nonconference games aren’t exactly walkovers, they’re also not terribly impressive, either. Green Bay, which ranked 190th in KenPom last year, is the best of the bunch. In short, Missouri’s nonconference schedule is designed to produce a pretty record that’s mostly devoid of substance. If the freshmen are ready, Missouri could better its win total from last season before Christmas.Green Bay picked to finish 6th as practice begins--Phear The Phoenix

9. Mark Alstork, Illinois
Last school: Wright State
Making the jump from the Horizon League to the Big Ten is no easy task, but Mark Alstork -- a grad transfer who began his career at Ball State -- has plenty of experience under his belt to make the leap with ease.
The 6-5 Ohio native is a high volume scorer coming off a season in which he averaged 19.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists for Wright State. And in Brad Underwood's high-octane run-and-fun offense, he should do well replacing the departed Tracy Abrams.
The Illini are going to have an offense to fear in 2017-18, and Alstork will be a major factor in that transformation if Underwood's offensive fingerprint translates from Oklahoma State to his new home in Champaign.
