BASKETBALL SEASON WRAP-UP
Wednesday, Mar. 10, 1999
FABULOUS FINISH:
Despite a 55-51 loss to #1 Detroit in the quarterfinals of
the 1999 Nokia MCC Men's Basketball Tournament, UIC turned
in one of its strongest showings of the year. The Flames
committed just nine turnovers in the game and beat Detroit
to the free throw line and the boards in the first half to
take a 26-23 lead to the locker room. In the second half,
the two squads continued to battle and after the Titans
led by as many as eight, Bryant Notree connected on a
three-pointer with 31 seconds left in the game to draw UIC
to within two points, 53-51. The senior forward, however,
couldn't get his three-pointer just seconds later to drop
and Flames were deprived of the upset.
HE'S DONE IT BEFORE AND DID IT AGAIN:
Senior Bryant Notree turned in a strong outing against
Detroit at the MCC Tournament and for the 15th time this
season led the Flames in scoring with 19 points. With
averages of 15.0 ppg and 6.9 rpg, Notree has led UIC in
both categories all season long and finished the year as
one of two MCC players to rank in the top five in both
categories.
NOTREE EARNS ACCOLADES:
Senior Bryant Notree earned All-MCC Second Team honors
and was also selected to the MCC All-Newcomer Team
following a vote of league coaches, SID's and media it
was announced on Feb. 24.
CORY COLLECTS 'EM:
Sophomore Cory Little, who has been hampered this season
with asthma problems, certainly hasn't slow getting to
the boards against Detroit at the MCC Tournament as he
collected a career-high and game-high 10 rebounds.
Despite being held scoreless, Little also added a
personal-best 6 assists without a single turnover in 32
minutes of action. Little, who's career-high 12 points
came against Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Feb. 13, finished the
year with averages of 3.2 ppg and 3.0 rpg.
TOUGH TO TAKE:
UIC's last three conference tournament losses have come by
a a total 6 points. Detroit knocked off the Flames 55-51
at the 1999 Nokia MCC Men's Basketball Tournament while
last year, Wright State upset UIC in the first round with
a 74-73 win. The year before, in the championship game of
the 1997 tournament, Butler squeaked out a 69-68 victory
for the tourney title.
POINTS FROM THE POINT:
Jason Ayers, UIC's starting point guard in 23 of 27 games
this season, contributed one of his best games of the year
against Detroit at the MCC Tournament. The squad's
second-leading scorer with 8.1 ppg, Ayers finished the
outing with 17 points as he hit 4-of-5 from the field,
1-of-2 from three-point range and all eight attempts at the
free throw line. He also handed off 4 assists and collected
1 steal while playing all 40 minutes of the game.
SKID MARK:
The Flames ended the season on an eight-game losing skid,
the longest-ever under Jimmy Collins. UIC defeated Loyola,
71-56, at the UIC Pavilion on Jan. 23 and was held winless
in the month of February.
NEAR PERFECTION:
UIC was nearly perfect at the free throw line against
Detroit at the MCC Tournament as it drained 18-of-19 charity
attempts. Jason Ayers hit 8-of-8 at the line, Thor Solverson
made 6-of-6 and Bryant Notree was also perfect, sinking
3-of-3. The lone free throw blemish was a 1-for-2 showing by
rookie Jon-Pierre Mitchom.
WELCOME BACK:
While being a young squad in '98-99 with eight first-year
players on the roster, the Flames look to be in good shape
for next year as they lose just three seniors from the squad
and welcome back 11 letterwinners. Graduating will be Bryant
Notree, Anton Collins and Frank Wade while Jason Ayers, Thor
Solverson, Ian Hanavan and Jordan Kardos all return to the
starting lineup.
SOLO SCORER:
The Flames had just one player average in double digits for
scoring - Bryant Notree, who tallied 15.0 ppg. In its 17
years as an NCAA Division I program, UIC has never had just
one player average in double digits. Jason Ayers was the
next closest Flame to reaching double figures as he averaged
8.1 ppg.
THE 70's:
The Flames found success this season when scoring 70 or more
points, as they were 5-1. UIC picked up victories over
Alabama State, Florida International, UNC Wilmington,
Cleveland State and Loyola when scoring over 70 points this
year. The lone loss, however, came against, Wright State,
100-74, when they visited Chicago on Jan. 4.
SHARING THE SUCCESS:
While Bryant Notree was the only UIC player to score in double
figures at 15.0 ppg, the Flames had five other players average
5.0 points or better. Last season, UIC had three players
finish as the leading scorer in all but one game. This year,
however, six different players led the Flames in scoring as
Bryant Notree, Jordan Kardos, Thor Solverson, Jason Ayers,
Joel Bullock and Jon-Pierre Mitchom all held high scoring
honors this season.
BRYANT ON THE BOARDS:
Bryant Notree has been a warrior on the boards for the Flames
all season long and finished the year averaging 6.9 rpg which
is second in the MCC. Over the final six games he played in,
Notree was exceptionally strong at collecting the caroms as he
averaged 7.8 rpg, including 12 against Cleveland State on Feb.
4. A graduate of Simeon High School, Notree grabbed
double-figure rebounds five times during the season, including
a career-high 16 boards versus Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Jan. 14.
HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES:
UIC's big man, 6-foot-11 Thor Solverson, picked up his
offensive contribution in the final five games of the season,
averaging 8.0 ppg in the outings, up from his season average
of 4.0 ppg. A native of Lake Zurich, Ill., Solverso#!the
season, Solverson was hot at the charity stripe as he hit
30-of-34 (88.2%) to raise his season free throw percentage
to 80.3%.
KARDOS CONTRIBUTES:
Redshirt freshman Jordan Kardos returned to the UIC starting
lineup in the final two games of the season and finished the
year averaging 8.0 ppg as a starter. A 6-foot-2 guard, Kardos
scored in double figures nine times this season while leading
the Flames third-leading scorer at 7.6 ppg, he's also been
one of its most accurate free throw shooters, draining 83.3%
at the charity stripe.
THE POINT MEN:
UIC's two starting guards, Jason Ayers and Joel Bullock, have
each shared the point guard duties this season and both have
compiled more assists than turnovers. Ayers, who started in
23 games, topped the squad with 92 helpers to 64 turnovers
while Bullock, a starter in 11 games, had 42 assists to 38
miscues. As a starter, Bullock improved his scoring average
from 5.4 ppg for the season to 8.4 ppg. Ayers, the squad's
second-highest scorer at 8.1 ppg, tallied 7.8 ppg as a
starter.
FREE THROW FUN:
Ian Hanavan, Thor Solverson and Jordan Kardos were all
exceptional at the free throw line this season as each
finished the year shooting better than 80% at the charity
stripe. Hanavan, UIC's top man at the line, hit 85.7% while
Kardos drained 83.3% of his free shots and Solverson sank
80.3% at the stripe. Jason Ayers was also a bright spot at
the free throw line as he shot 91.4% at the stripe in the
last 11 games and 79.3% for the year.
THE SCOOP ON STEVE:
Rookie walk-on Steve Farmer, who earned seven starts this
season, was certainly a big bonus to UIC's board game this
season. The Flames' third-highest rebounder at 4.0 rpg,
Farmer led the team in rebounding six times, including a
career-high 11 boards versus Florida International. Against
Detroit at the MCC Tournament, Farmer came off the bench to
grab 8 rebounds while also blocking three shots. The Michigan
City, Ind., native registered two "double-doubles" during the
season with 15 points and 10 rebounds versus Montana on Dec.
28 and 12 points and 11 rebounds against Florida International
on Dec. 17.
RECORD BREAKING ROOKIE REBOUNDER:
Rookie Ian Hanavan certainly helped out the Flames on the
boards this season. Following a career-high 14 rebounds
against Detroit on Feb. 6, Hanavan and took over first place
in the UIC freshman rebounding record book and finished the
year with 131 total rebounds for a 4.9 rpg average. Hanavan
passed up Ivan Daniels who grabbed 120 rebounds as a rookie
in 1981-82.
NOTREE NUMBERS:
Bryant Notree, with averages of 15.0 ppg and 6.9 rpg, was one
of two MCC players to rank among the top five in both of those
categories. The University of Illinois transfer led the Flames
in scoring 15 times this season, including a career-high 28
points against Cleveland State on Jan. 7, and has scored 20+
points nine times. Additionally, Notree topped the squad in
rebounding 13 times with a personal-best 16 boards versus
Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Jan. 14. Notree registered five
"double-doubles" during the year with his most impressive
showing a 27-point, 16-rebound effort versus UWM on Jan. 14.
UIC AND THE EXTRA PERIOD:
Following its 67-62 overtime loss to Butler on Jan. 11, UIC
dropped to 11-12 in overtime games since turning a Division
I program in 1981-82. The Flames are 9-10 in single overtime,
2-1 in double overtime and 0-1 in triple overtime. At the
Pavilion, UIC is 6-6 when going the extra period while it is
2-1 under Jimmy Collins, following the loss to Butler.
