In case you don’t find the game right at 3:30 on ESPN+ keep in mind this is a double header game with the women’s team starting at 1:00 pm on ESPN 3 which depending on it’s length could cause a men’s late start.
Also if you are coming out to the Convocation Center a ticket for either the men’s game or the women’s game gets you in for both.
Go Huskies!

Looks like some light snow could make for some possible hazardous travel to the game.
Akron is interesting when it comes to ranking systems. They have some of the higher spreads in Div 1 in terms of their ranking. From Massey composite page:
Highest ranking - #63 by Deep Dribble
Lowest ranking - #192 by Wolfe
Average ranking - #126
NIU takes care of these two at home, 3 or 4 seed will be highly attainable. Hard to believe. I have their projected win total at 10.6

Like to see some of you smooth talkers get out and support the Huskies men's and women's basketball teams. And if you see AD Frazier go up and get him to spill the beans on the coaching search. Oh and root the
Huskie cagers on to victory.
GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These next 3 games will define NIU's season, and will dictate whether NIU has a chance at that 4 seed. NIU's next 3 games are against the most likely 3 teams they will be battling for any potential 4 seed in Akron, CMU, and @ Kent. Take 2 of those 3 and Huskies will be in great shape.
RE: mbb vs Akron Zips - NIU007 - 01-11-2019 09:11 PM
Might not be able to go but will get there if I can. An offense, 2-0 record so far and decent OOC can't complain too much.

If NIU takes care of Akron at home today, I'll officially be on the bandwagon.
