GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't remember the last time NIU men's basketball started 4-0 in conference, but it is going to happen on Tuesday. NIU 78-CMU 75.
I just looked it up and NIU started 2009-2010 MAC season 4-0. They proceeded to lose the next 11 games.
I have an uneasy feeling about Tuesday, CMU seems to be a bad matchup for NIU. NIU was not competitive with CMU last year, at all. This feels like the kind of game NIU loses when momentum gets going. But, if you could win this game, all that would stand in the way of Buffalo at home undefeated is a road trip at Kent, which right now I would think would trend toward a Pick Em game. I wonder if the Kent game could be in jeopardy with weather concerns, in that case this game would be all that stands in the way of a meeting with Buffalo as undefeated.
