UT-NIU Game thread
So I'm reading Sylvania Rocket's post with the game preview from the NIU Athletic site and note that game time is 6 PM. "Crap" sez I and race to my car, arriving minutes before tipoff. Smallish crowd consisting of, well, me. It pays to consult the UT schedule when playing teams located in the Central time zone.

You get first dibs on the popcorn. If it weren't so cold, I'd jump in the car. I've been weather spoiled this year. 16 degrees was warm last two years.

How much are tickets?

OK, looks like anywhere from $9-45. Site is a bit confusing. You might be able to see players from the $9 seats. Looks like $15 or so will get a decent seat.

Oh, I can confirm that I can see the players from my $9 seat...but neither they nor Coach K can hear me from here, apparently.

Eh drat, I lost track of time before coming back to check the thread. I'd have gone for the $9. People really pay $45 to see a basketball game?

Looks like the Huskies won't roll over.

I found the game tracker and audio link on the website.

Good thing the Rockets are shooting well from the foul line, since they can't shoot from the field.

Rockets down 2 at the half 34-32.

RE: UT-NIU Game thread
Refs are letting Northern's coach walk all over them. Spineless. He should have had 2 T's and been ejected already.

Evenly matched teams. These are the 50-50 games you need to win at home. Kinda hard to do when you only get offense from 2 guys though. Only a total of 2 points from Navi and Sanford combined--not good. And Mosely is having one of his "am I even here?" games. So I'm actually feeling OK about only being down by 2. Could have been worse. Coach K will earn his money tonight.

RE: UT-NIU Game thread
NIU is a very solid team on both ends of the court. They are up 34-32 at the half. Back and forth game with NIU getting better shots particularly when Boothe is on the bench. Fouls could have a huge affect on this game. NIU has racked up more fouls but all three of Rockets' post players (Navie, Garber, and Boothe) have two fouls. Rockets have yet to get their three point attack going. Boothe and Williams both in double digits for the first half.

9 turnovers, 5 assists. Need to reverse that in the second half.

Rebounds even at 18 but they are shooting about 42% while the Rockets are shooting just 37.5%
