This game cannot be broken down by wins and losses or quantified by records in conference play. The Panthers clearly have the competitive edge here as they have dominated this series as of late. Wisconsin-Milwaukee, while they stand at 5-13 on the year overall in straight-up markets are 9-7 ATS for just cause. This is a team that has been undervalued far more than they should and have not been given the respect they deserve for some of the outcomes they have cultivated. This is a club that has played a lot of good teams tough. Teams such as Green Bay, Middle Tennessee State, Ohio and Memphis where they were able to give these outfits trouble on the road. This team also gave Belmont a scrap when they came to Milwaukee earlier this season. All five of these teams were vying or managed to get in to the 2016 Men’s Basketball Tournament. The only team that the Flames have encountered recently that stacks up to any of these aforementioned teams Milwaukee has played is a true false favorite in Oakland. The Panthers have played a much tougher schedule on paper than the Flames and this often allows records to be deceiving as a result. Illinois-Chicago has lost to teams such as Grand Canyon which showcases their inconsistency and debunks viability of them being a true winning team. This team has been a bottom feeder that put together a slew of wins on a padded schedule and now they get one of their tougher tests against a team with a deceptive record of their own which does not showcase how battle-tested they already are. Wisconsin-Milwaukee will look to change the tide of their season with a win here. Overall quality of competition will be the defining factor in this affair.
