Halftime scores:
Longwood 28
KSU 47
NIU 31
Indiana St 32
Buffalo 25
Niagara 36
It would be nice to sweep all these. NIU has come back from trailing by 8-10 earlier.
We were down by 11 or 12 at one point. It would be nice to get our first victory of the season and a win over the MVC.
UB shooting only 26%, 14 turnovers at the half.
Swarming Niagara defense giving them trouble.
15:59 2nd Half
Northern Illinois 35
Indiana State 41
13:57 2nd Half
Buffalo 35
Niagara 53
12:00 2nd Half
Longwood 46
Kent State 69
Looks like NIU is the only chance to have a winning night for the MAC
62-48 ISU with 7:25 left
Doesn't look like we'll get that first win tonight. We start off halves really slow.
Niagara is really due to beat UB. UB has had their number for a few years and this is a local rivalry game. I'm surprised it's this lopsided but not surprised at all if NU wins.
KSU 80-62 over Longwood, final.
ISU 75 NIU 65 Final. :( I thought this might be one we can pull out. Oh well. We played better.
Jake Anderson should be a starter from now on, he had over 20 points and has played well for a freshman. He was averaging over 8 ppg off the bench until his first start this year tonight.
I guess True Blue isn't chanting "This is Our House!" tonight.
