CHICAGO (AP) - Aaron Carr and Jonathan Schneiderman had 19 points apiece as UIC beat Bowling Green 83-72 on Saturday.
Martel Bailey had 12 points and seven assists for UIC (18-7) as the Flames' bench outscored the injury-depleted Falcons 30-11.
John Reimold led Bowling Green (10-13) with 22 points, including 19 in the second half. The Falcons played the game without three of their starters as guard Jabari Maddox suffered a torn ligament in his right knee earlier in the week. Germain Fitch and Josh Almanson were lost earlier in the year to injuries.
Bowling Green jumped out to an 11-4 lead, but UIC went on a 17-5 run during the last 6:43 of the half to take a 42-30 halftime lead. The Falcons turned the ball over 20 times, leading to 19 points for UIC.
Since the start of the 2000-01 season, the Flames are 40-6 when leading at the half and 21-1 when scoring more than 80 points.
