We love UC Irvine here and we have a great deal of respect for Chattanooga obviously and the fact they have won 4 in a row in this tournament alone. It is great to see these hungry schools do well but the difference here is that Chattanooga is outside the top 200 in defense and UC Irvine is an elite top 25 defense. This is a team that has beat Dayton, Bradley, Loyola Chicago and now we love them to get it done against Chattanooga here on Thursday night!
