Both teams have shot poorly in the 2nd have but NIU has been dreadful. The rebounding numbers are off the charts!

Final

NIU - 46
NW - 63

Northwestern is not good! I suspect they will finish last in the Bigten.

Better beat Purdue Northwest on Monday, or, ……….UH, OH.

We could have a real (and complete) disaster on our hands.

Putrid shooting in the 2nd half. By both teams but really bad by NIU.

Scoring:

Williams - 19
Coit - 9
Nutter - 7
Amos - 5
Ibarguen - 4
Crump - 2

Williams was 0-5 from 3PT. Coit was 2-5. Nutter was 0-2. Amos was 1-2.

NIU shot 33.3% from the field (21.4% 3PT - 64.3% FT)
NW shot 41.4% from the field (22.7% 3PT - 58.8% FT)

2nd Half:

NW shot 42.3% from the field (22.2% 3PT - 50% FT)

NW - 40

Turnovers:

NIU - 17
NW - 8

Points off TOs:

NIU - 4

Right now its Williams, Coit and Nutter and if 2 of the 3 struggle, it's ugly. We're getting nothing from anyone else and we really have no inside presence until Niederhäuser gets healthy and acclimated to the level of play (which could easily take a year).

Williams and Coit each played 37 minutes. Nutter played 33.

They do but you also underestimate the ineptitude of Nebraska.

With 15:49 to play Eastern Michigan leads at Michigan by a point.

Eastern has been amazing in his game

This looks to be a down year for The Bigten

Never stand in the way of sweeping generalizations based on microscopic sample sizes.

Eastern is going to win the MAC. Bates had 30 in this one. Might be the best player we see in the MAC in a LONG time

They're good without him. If they don't win the MAC, it'll either be because of injuries or a colossal failure.

Was at game - score makes this one seem worse than it was, our offense was horrible but we were in game until about ten minute mark in second half. Outside of Williams there isn’t consistent offense, was impressed with Nutter. Crump was awful, Coit had taller guys on him all game and couldn’t do anything. Amos looked lost in the first half but thought he found something in the 2nd half, scored 5 straight points to cut lead to five before NW pulled away. If the Swiss big man doesn’t get healthy and contribute right away, there is nothing this team can do without any sort of D1 caliber post players.

I was just joking when saying we need to go to the Mckendree game because if will be NIU's only win of the season! And then we needed to come from behind in the 2nd half to squeek by McKendree! The loss to UIS was stunning (to say the least). Hoping some MAC teams are worse than div 2 is not a good winning strategy!
Maybe keep Rockford U. and/or Judsen U. on the schedule!

That's how UMass football gets all its wins.
