SCOUTING GREEN BAY
 

• This will be 86^th time the Flames and the Phoenix are set to battle it out on the hardwood. UIC is in search of its first win against Green Bay since its 81-72 victory at home in Jan. 2010.
• A season ago, the Flames took a one-point lead late in the third quarter, but couldn't hold on down the stretch, falling to the Phoenix on the road, 64-56 on Dec. 13. UIC was led in scoring by senior Makiyah Williams (Chicago, Ill./Trinity/Marquette) and graduate student Danyel Middleton (Chicago, Ill./Bolingbrook/Marquette) each scored a dozen points apiece.
• The reigning 2023-24 Horizon League Champions are in search of their first win in non-conference play, recently falling to Missouri Valley Conference member Northern Iowa (2-0) Saturday afternoon at home.
• Senior Natalie McNeal has been the focus point in the offense for Green Bay, already having scored in double figures in both games this season. Averaging 13.5 ppg, McNeal ranks 13^th in the Horizon League.

 
LAST GAME RECAP – vs. Cincinnati
 

• In their home opener, the Flames couldn't fend off Cincinnati (2-0) at Credit Union 1 Arena on Nov. 5, falling 66-54.
