Actually a road game against a team that NIU ranks higher in the RPI against. NIU is 227 and Loyola is 248. NIU finally out of the bottom 100 in RPI. Huskies need this game, but I'll say still some growing pains on the road in a competitive contest
Loyola 63
NIU 59
I will say that if we win this one, I'll start to be optimistic about this year.
A game I hope they win. Have to beat the fellow city schools where possible
Sent from my iPhone.
Loyola by 7, Loyola beat Milwaukee and lost by 1 at Miss ST in ot. NIU will only win a couple road games this year.
Loyola 75
NIU 50
Bowie 1 for 6 from the line
Team 6 for 15 from the line
Team 2 of 14 from 3's
A little off topic but I noticed Toledo basketball team is off to a good start. 3 votes in the AP poll. They need something to look forward to since they've been getting spanked by us in football.
Toledo's a basketball school.
Toledo about to win again on the road tonight, they just might be the real deal and a good hope for the MAC west to dethrone the east.
NIU open as 6.5 dogs, current 6.
Don't think I've ever made a NIU bball prediction, but what the hell. NIU wins 68-62 and gets a decent win against a local team.
Does anyone know a general rule of thumb for how many points a home team is given in basketball. It obviously must change depending on the venue and team, but is 3 points a safe assumption as an average for basketball>
Anyone find a stream for the game?

It looks like it should show up on the above link when the game starts
Yeah, I found that. I thought the MVC site would stream all games.
Clash of the titans in Athens tonight, Umass vs Ohio, should be a great game.

This look like a high quality stream, too bad we cant even get ours to work for home games
