According to the KSU board, now that they have lost to us, their program is at an all time low.

They do realize this was a conference loss right? I know we're not a very good team...but still.

Wasn't he still getting quite a few minutes even though he wasn't starting? It's not like on most teams where the starters get most of the playing time and the other guys just fill in.

Nice win. I'm done trying to figure this team out. Really happy for the guys and the way they responded after Saturday's debacle.

They're definitely bouncing back after bad losses. That says a lot.

How far back do we have to go for a win in Dekalb? Chick Evans Field house?

Yep, 1998 per huskiewire

I knew there would be a problem with Springs when Christian was starting for him. I don't blame the kid for being pissed and he has been pissed! Highsmith will play the 2 guard spot so we will be ok. Maybe, Andre Henly will be back.

As I posted in another thread, these young huskies are bipolar which is not all that uncommon plus they are scrappy - and at least not crappy on D - unlike past few teams.

After having beaten Flashes in dramatic style in MACC, KSU fans must be plucking out their feathers after losing to NIU in final seconds of bball. Next yrs ftball rematch should be "interesting".

This might be nit-picky, but I wouldn't call them bipolar, they're just inconsistent. And this team needs MAX effort to win any contest...and some offensive luck. They can't take a possession off. If they go down to even 95% effort, they will have a hard time winning a game.

So it's not just NIU fans that get a little crazy after a bad loss? That's good to know.

Need more Jekyll; less Hyde.

We are tied for the 6th best conference record in the MAC right now. We are ahead of Kent State, Miami, BGSU, CMU and Ball State. Tied with Buffalo at 3-4.

I don't know, but Hyde is a beast.

It sure takes a lot of good for NIU to win by 2, but the Huskies are 3-4 in the MAC, and MAC wins are the first step for this program, especially since a couple are on the road.

Still a lot of turnovers, and Akeem Springs is gone (bummer). It's amazing how quickly he decided to leave, and just a bummer. He looked like a guy that could be very useful for the Huskies....I guess Monty isn't done recruiting for next year.

Toledo is up next. Time for a two game winning streak, I hope.

surprised to hear about springs,but if he would rather quite than try to regain his starting position we are probably better off.
