39-30.

Nutter with 12, Crump 8, and Coit 6.

Not great.

Against mighty McKendree University from Lebanon, IL!!!!!

Coit 2-7, Amos 0-3. Hope it is just first game jitters.

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

Rebounding is 23/23, with McKendree having NINE offensive rebounds.

Yikes.

FYI, McKendree has a women’s beach volleyball team!!

McKendree has 5 jc/cc transfers and a 5th-year senior. And two future NIU opponents, Purdue Northwest and Illinois-Springfield, each laid 80+ on these guys last season. I don't know what all that means -- if anything -- but hoping Huskies start getting their s--- together early.

NIU 50-46 with 15:38 in the 2nd. Sheesh. Their guy Vicentic is take it to the Huskies 17 pts).

MCKendree is also 11-0 for second-chance points.

This is SUPPOSED to be an exhibition game that the Huskies are SUPPOSED to win big. If they squeak out a win, it could be the season’s highlight.

Five minutes into the 2nd half, we are getting out rebounded 28/24 by…………..McKendree?

Oh, my goodness.

And now they're up 55-50 at 13:12 left.

Media timeout 11:51. Them 57-52.

Looks like Burno has joined the pantheon of great Huskie coaches.

It's only one game ... and an exhibition. Doesn't it make you want to just jump in to see that Illinois Springfield homer on Nov. 7?

Now, I’d like you to picture what Gonzaga will do to this team.

Final score?

And is out rebounding us 41-30. They play in the Great Lakes Valley Conference……how can that happen?

and then, Coit hits a pair of 3s back to back!!!!

Anyone know who started?

From looking at the stats page, I would guess it was:

G - Keshawn Williams
G - David Coit
G - Zarique Nutter
G - Darweshi Hunter
F - Anthony Crump
