How many games does NIU play annually?

with the exempt tournament, may play 33 (as the 4 game tourney including a non D1 team) only counts as 1 game. also, if win games in MAC tournament those would push it to 34-36....and any NCAA games (hey if you can't be optomistic in the preseason, when can you?)

With their exempt tournament, they can play a maximum of 31; without it, 29. These numbers don't include any post-season games.

Nope.

Quote:Under the new rules, teams can play either 29 regular season games or 27 regular season games plus no more than four games in one multi-team tournament for a maximum of 31 games.

I don't get how the tourney only counts as one game. If they win four games in that tourney, they will count it as four wins. They play 18-conference games. They will play 11-13 non conference games.
