Hey, I'm actually kinda excited after close loss @ Nebraska, and the win vs a good Dartmouth team. Ok, we lost in the MACC last night, I know I am depressed but if can keep making runs and shooting they way we did in those games...we could make it closer to breaking "The Curse of Bob Brigham" maybe not this year, but maybe '14 or '15

Getting better with every game..could be Mac spoilers in January and February ...
Let's support these players....they are starting to play exciting basketball

Tough long road stretch coming up for the Huskies, don't be surprised if the record stinks. Hopefully they show something during this trip.

C'mon bro. I'm glad they beat Dartmouth, but to call Dartmouth good? They're currently at 323 on real time rpi.

Nebrasketball.

I would say "Lets wait until after the UMass game" but honestly, for some reason we seem to play UMass' and Temples(usually fairly decent teams) well but end up stinking the rest of the year. But so far we look like we might be slightly improved over previous years(though that is not difficult).

Tough stretch coming up on the road. I would not be surprised if we lose 4 in a row.

It will be nice to sit in the Convo and get excited at a basketball game again.

Is there anyway to watch these games? I know the non televised football games I could catch on XBOX live....


Go NIU!

The MAC, in years past, has streamed a decent amount of games and keeps saying it will stream games this year, but then you go to stream the game and get squat. I don't know what's up with that.

Same here. I sent them an email during the Dartmouth game but haven't heard back.

The NIUtube stream never works. Glad I paid $50 for something I can't use. My emails have not been returned either

That means it might be NIU's fault. Ugh.

Update: I just tried a random live event and it worked, so I'm willing to bet this is an NIU problem.

The game will be on NBC Sports Network.

Next Up Northern Illinois University

Read this is finals week so most students will be gone by game time. Not as good for us and better for you. We have a traditional long break between course to save on dorm heating bills. It's so long there are inter-session class. Do you guys have a 5 week break between semesters or is this an almost strictly a UMass thing.

The worst part of this is our graduations are a little later, which hurts the students going for summer or career starting jobs.

4 weeks.

This game is going to tell a lot about how the team is this season. UMass is good.
