It definitely was not an ugly game. WMU got out to a 9-0 lead and then NIU played nearly shot for shot with them through much of the game, and it got away a bit a little bit late, but NIU was extremely competitive against the divisional favorites on the road. One really good thing I liked to see was how the NIU press disrupted WMU, they looked really confused at times. Just a little too much of an inside/outside threat from WMU in the end, but overall I would say there were more positives than negatives in this game. A big negative for me in this one and in many games this year has been Jake Anderson. The potential seems to be there, but he just does not play in control and make good decisions.
Was really impressed with the WMU campus and their basketball fans. Even though there was 3200 (I thought it was more than that), they were very into the game and unlike anything I have seen from an NIU crowd in some time.

It is sad to say, but outside of the Kohl Center, this is the first time I have seen the Huskies play an away game. I felt like I was back in Chick Evans with a solid 3500 crowd (with students on break), loud and into the game. It was a real eye opener to me that MAC basketball can still mean alot to a university. Despite the outcome, I enjoyed the afternoon if just for that reason.
