Back by unpopular demand we have our Huskies still trying to win their first MAC road game. Gong to be tough in Muncie as we are 9 pt
underdogs (Is that all?). Cardinals have RPI of 90 to our 234. Closest to a win on the road was 5 pts @ Toledo and WMU. Will be a pleasant
surprise if we pull out a win. Maybe Thorpe will be back.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's hard to tell which team will show up. I have no idea.

Need to have more scoring options than German and Bradley.

Ir Thorpe is healthy and plays to his ability, they will have a chance to win. It seemed as though he was becoming the #1 facilitator when he went down.

Generally the good guess is "the bad one" when it's on the road. Hope there's a change tonight.

Betters review of tonight game.

Hope I am surprised by a good performance tonight

Does Ball State have a letdown after crushing Toledo Saturday?
Not counting on it.

Half time and NIU staying close

It is getting ugly.

Why is German still playing down by 18 with two minutes left? Ball Stat has their third string in. Of course he was still in at the end of he game. Crazy.

They were down by 14 at the under 4minute time out he should be in and BallSt didn’t have their third string in. They lost by nine. Coaches preach we must play a 40 minute game.

Sorry I was off with my original stat. They were down 23 with seven minutes left, and down 14 with 2:38 left and German was still playing.

Both teams sucked at shooting tonight. Our only 2 players that can score points consistently are Levi who had an awful game and Eugene who had 25.

We need big guys and they sucked...sorry....I like McCarty and James but they had pretty bad games. The Greek Demogerantas had a good game...he looked promising...good for him.

Bottom line regardless of time remaining, who's on the court, who is having a good night versus an off-night -- it's the same all-too familiar story. Seven straight years under Monty and NIU can't get above .500 in the less-than-mighty MAC.

Right now there’s only 3 teams above 500. This team had zero chance to finish over 500 from the get go. What’s been very strange about Monty’s teams is they’ve been very soft every year. It’s a mess and unless they get a big that can score and become able to make 8 threes a game next year they won’t be over 500 again. Monty certainly will be let go if that’s the case. NIU will eat 300k but not 600k.

My guess is Monty gets an extension. We're talking about STF here - Mr. Everything's Great.

What was with the timeout with 12 seconds remaining down by 9?
If it was to get a turnover they sure let them in bound the ball easily.
That was just stupid.

3 assists in the game. Incredible! Go Monty Go

1 was the second bucket of the game to make the score 8-5.
