Party on, UIC. The Flames deserve to celebrate. About a mile from its own campus, Illinois-Chicago pulled off one of the biggest wins in school history Saturday, rallying from eight points down in the second half and stunning Illinois 57-54 at the United Center. "Amazing," said first-year Flames coach Howard Moore. "It can really give our program a shot in the arm recruiting, tremendous exposure," said Moore, a former Wisconsin assistant. "For us, it's just a tremendous win. It's just great to have these moments, share these moments with your team." Darrin Williams scored five points in the final 1:10 as UIC ended the Illini's seven-game winning streak. The Flames also stopped their own four-game losing skid, with three of those losses by two points. "We cracked the past four games prior to this. It is a testament to my players that they didn't allow it to happen again," Moore said. After a sluggish start, Illinois (10-2) used a 12-0 run to build a 49-41 lead with 7:30 to go and appeared in control. Read more: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=303520082
