I will start off the predictions. NIU playing a little better this year. They will also get an opportunity to play in front of 5,000 to 6,000 fans which will be nice for them too. However back to the game, UT 75 NIU 60.............

We'll score more.

Interviewer: What's your prediction for the fight?
Clubber Lang: My prediction?
Interviewer: Yes, your prediction.
[Clubber looks into camera]
Clubber Lang: Pain!

UT 83, NIU 69 and Aubrey Williams improves on his 0.6 scoring average (3 pts. this season in five games played)

NIU is pretty good defensively, but they are atrocious at the offensive end.

I don't know a logical score, because I don't really follow basketball, but Toledo should win by 10+.

I know Toledo is probably the best team in the league and NIU is improving but still bad.

Ballistic projectiles 67
Dogs 47

NIU can't shoot, but lucky for them we don't play defense. 76, 51 Rockets

Does anyone knows if Aparicio is finally healthy enough to play or will he be out this entire season?

Next year.

He'll be 40 before he actually suits up.

Not sure, at the coaches show on Monday, he said, maybe, but also said, who's minutes will I cut? Don't think he will play, unless someone gets hurt.

Ummmm...so, why did we give him a scholly in the first place? Potentially 2 seasons missed?

Because no one predicted the injury. He's given us about what Aubrey Williams has.

Why give Aubrey Williams a scholarship? Why give half the football team a scholarship, too?

Wow, that's pretty close to what I was thinking.

Allow me to re-phrase...why was he targeted as a recruit in the first place? Was he known for his 3 point shooting? Is he a tall point guard? Doesn't look like he'd be a great rebounder, but was that it? Just wondering what we are missing if he actually doesn't play at all his first 2 seasons here...

Averaged 11 rebounds in a tough league. Looks and books.

He's also apparently REALLY smart and young. Graduated high school at 16. Put in a year at IMG. That's what I got from a quick google. Coaches saw him at some tournament. Rest is history. Sounds like a good get for the program.
