Chicago, Ill. - The UIC men's basketball team looks to get back on the winning track as the Flames open a two-game road trip on Saturday afternoon at Detroit.

UIC (8-10, 1-5) heads to the Motor City in the midst of a five-game losing streak, its longest such slide since the 2000-01 season. The Titans (9-11, 3-4), meanwhile, are 7-1 at home this season, but are coming off a heartbreaking one-point loss at Calihan Hall to UW-Milwaukee on Wednesday.

This is the 25th all-time meeting between UIC and Detroit. The Titans lead the all-time series 17-7, but the two teams split the season series last year with each team winning of its home floor.

Saturday's game features the Horizon League's two longest tenured coaches in Perry Watson (13th season) and Jimmy Collins (10th season). The duo combine for 23 years and 390 wins.
