Its simple: There is none.

Game Tonight Convo Center 7pm tipoff NIU vs ??. If you need a major plan to get students to come don't know it there is any hope.

Next Tuesday is November 1, and the tickets are still not sent out. The women have an exhibition game next Saturday that I was hoping to attend. Why in the hell do they continually wait until the last minute to mail the tickets? This is so frustrating. Last year, I got my women's tickets the day before the first game. A few years ago, I got my tickets after the season started. There is simply no excuse for this. It's not like they just decided the opponents, dates, and times. And yet they want to go "big time"??

precisely...even when hope was at its highest, there ARE so many things where the Ath. dept doesnt have its "sh*t together". we have bigger in house problems than being in the MAC.

We could easily have a "sell out" if they only opened one side of the stands, like most games last season...just not actually stop selling tickets. If all the seats are sold its a "sell out"...standing room only doesn't count.

Maric is going to graduate so he probably will enter the draft. He also may transfer to a big time program for one year. I don't think Monty is going to sit and wait to see what happens. He will give out that scholarship. Wilson missed media day due to a cold.

Plea to Marin Maric, please enroll as a graduate student, the season after this one has the potential to be one of the most special years in NIU hoops if you stay. Please!

I will just say the future will be ok. Lacey James is going to be a good-great one at NIU!

It sounds like a reincarnation of Zelis to me. James didn't even see more than a few minutes per game at Rider. What makes you think he would be significant contributor in an even better conference. I feel like we are missing some information on James

James was a Freshman at Rider it's not a it deal he didn't get a lot of minutes. Rider has been a better program than NIU. Lacey James was recruited by several MAC teams and was considered a top state of Michigan recruit. He can play. Not to mention all the other players a year older
