Chicago, Ill. - The UIC men's basketball team will put its 14-0 all-time record versus Youngstown State to the test on Thursday night as the Flames invade the Beeghly Center at 6:30 p.m. CST.

The game will be aired live on ESPN Radio 1000 AM while fans can also watch the game via the internet by clicking on the Horizon League All-Access link on the front page of uicflames.com.

UIC (10-12, 3-7) is in the midst of a busy stretch of four games in eight days and is fresh off a tough home loss to Butler on Monday night.

The Flames, who have won two of their last three games, will look to get back on track versus the Penguins (7-13, 4-6). UIC has never lost to YSU and is 6-0 all-time at the Beeghly Center.

The last four meetings between the two schools have been nail-biters, though, including an 85-84 overtime triumph by the Flames earlier this season at the Pavilion.

The Penguins are anchored by the Horizon League leader in scoring and rebounding Quin Humphrey. The junior guard is averaging 19.6 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.

UIC will counter with senior forward Justin Bowen, who ranks in the top 10 in the Horizon League in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage and free throw percentage.
