UIC (10-11, 3-6) is fresh off wins over Wright State and UW-Green Bay and finds itself just one game out of fourth place in the Horizon League.

The Bulldogs (11-8, 4-3) have also won their last two games and are currently in second place in the league.

Both teams are in the midst of stretches in which they will play four games in the next eight days. UIC will follow Monday night's game with a trip to Youngstown State on Thursday, before returning home on Saturday, Feb. 4th, to square off with Detroit at 3:00 p.m. in a game broadcast nationally on ESPN2.
