Pretty steep underdog, Rockets favored by 6. Rockets win, but barely cover

NIU 68
Toledo 77

A great test for the young team. We could really use JKey to bounce back and help inside.

Ouch line is up to 7

NIU - 73
Toledo - 70

NIU 80
Toledo 72

NIU 74
TOL 71

Toledo is just so tough because if you try to concentrate on Boothe, Toledo will absolutely torch you from the outside and vice versa. NIU will have to be very productive offensively to remain competitive tonight and to keep pace the explosive Rocket offense.

Boothe's dad, Mark, was a baseball star for NIU (Mundelein before that). Too bad Nathan didn't his dad and come here. Had he, we might not have gotten Maric.

You could work for Toledo's athletic department's marketing area.

I'm interested in seeing freshman Nate Navigato from Geneva play for Toledo. Huskies win by 6.

Wow! Travon Baker off to the hot start. Where did this shooting come from??

Where is Wilson???

I was just going to say that... 9 minutes in and no Wilson. I see him on the bench, however.

Finally!

Decent start, but have slowed down. Simply put, if Armstead and Orris are taking long shots, offense is going to look bad.

Impressed by our D so far. And JKey looking good.

WOW Orris....

Orris with an air ball. Most of us can hit the rim with our eyes closed.

Yeah orris is what he is...armstead has been a major letdown so far this year

Porter with the drive and kick-out for a wide open Wilson three? How many times will we get to see that in the next 3.5 years?

Orris and Zelis are the only two downfalls of this team. Everyone else is great.
