RE: Tonight's Game
I love Wilson, too.........but saying he plays with "poise" is a huge overstatement.
and, MD is certifiable..........refs don't cheat (well except the guy who is now in prison). The game is fast and they are expected to immediately decide on what 10 guys are doing on multiple plays on every possession.......unlike us, they are mostly unbiased and don't give an eff who wins...they get their $2500 a game regardless and risk losing 100+ games worth of that each season if they grade out too low or receive too many complaints from too many coaches.

After seeing the ridiculous end to the EMU game , maybe you are right. It could just be coincidence that NIU is always on the wrong end of poor incompetent officiating, and it could just be that the incompetence has just reached such a high level that it looks corrupt. All I Know is one thing that is not debatable, something has to be done about the officiating, it has NEVER been this bad

RE: Tonight's Game
after the tripping flagrant 1 on MM and after baker was ejected for the flagrant 2 at the Zoo, the refs swallowed their whistles while we fouled numerous times...as if they felt we were screwed enough.........no doubt the loud home court advantage last night helped with the stripes

Seriously, what's not to like about this team...also all the players seem to be good people too....no Naders on the team
This is a talented group of young players. Something tells me that Levi Bradley is going to be a force to rekon with in the next few years. He's been playing pretty darn good for a freshman and he is only going to get stronger as time goes by.

It's not an espn3 thing so you'd have to find somebody that recorded/uploaded it. That seems unlikely.

If by some unlikely event NIU swept this week on the road, I think they would get a few top 25 votes next Monday.

I would hope they would at least receive 1 vote at 18-3....
