Square peg in a round hole is the wbb program.

This team on the court and their decision making is maddening. Many of the turnovers aren’t even forced. They just manage to shoot themselves in the foot and that is this programs ONLY consistent phase.

It’s painfully obvious they coach X’s and O’s and do nothing about their mentality.

Expect a 30+ point loss to MSU. Prove us wrong Carlsen and deliver for once.

Yes, and it gets very frustrating to see all the missed shots and turnovers. It's like they are trying to go faster than their brains work.

I have gotten to the point where I have stopped watching NIU sports. With the way this season has gone/is going, you just expect a loss every game. Maybe - but just maybe - the men will squeak out a victory against the mighty Chicago State Cougars.

I know how you feel. I have been following NIU sports for almost 40 years, and this is the lowest of lows that I can think of. Even when major programs sucked, you had a minor sport to pick you up a bit. I know they won girls cross country, but that does not even reach the minor sport definition to be honest. When you add this deep decline to the deep decline of the University as a whole, you just lose hope that it can get better. I wish we had innovative and out of the box thinkers at the helm of Athletics and University academic side, but I think leaders of both are pretty weak. Falling this far behind ISU is something I never thought would happen.
