The final week of the regular season tips tomorrow at 8pm Eastern Standard from Dekalb Illinois. For KSU, this is a big game. A win over the 8-20 Huskies would set the good guys up for a BIG FRIDAY. Nothing like big games in March!!

Go Flashes!

Flashes favored by 8, but I smell a trap game. Their senior night and NIU has nothing to play for. Their season is over. Right now they just want to win, even if it get bloody.

I think the question is....do they really want to win or are they happy just mailing it in? Have a little fun but don't bother taking a charge, playing help defense or making the extra pass. Both are very possible.

This team is having too much fun to just mail it in. I wonder if Hamilton is available. He will be super important vs UB. How about Carry being MPOTW 3 weeks in a row? See if Jacobs learned his lesson even tho the 2nd tech should not have been called.

I was referring to the Huskies of Northern Illinois. Dekalb, to be exact.

AlphaFlash, doesn't NIU still have an outside chance for the #8 seed?

There's a logjam of 5-13 teams in EMU, NIU and BG sitting behind 6-12 Miami who is currently at #8 who is behind 6-10 CMU.

Interesting , last I heard team is flying home after game tonight via Charter from Dekalb airport.
Much better than 7-8 hr bus ride with Buffalo looming on Friday.
This was in the works since schedule came out so nothing to do with winning streak
Hopefully , it’s actually happening.
We have done this a few times in recent history, from faraway MAC schools with local airports that can accommodate 30 seat planes.

If they planned/paid for that when the schedule came out they'll get their money worth from saving on gas.

Toledo up big on Buffalo.

Ohio U in a battle with BG

Chalk those two up. BG and UT winners.

Now on to the Flashes.

Toledo taking care of Buffalo and BG up over Ohio, but we’re stuck in a tight one at NIU.

Up 32-25 at the half, gotta finish strong. Toledo took care of Buffalo and BG pulling out a tight one against Ohio. Going to need some help from BG to take out Toledo on Friday as we’re beating Buffalo.

I know it's a rivalry game and that BG just beat Ohio, but I don't see Toledo losing Friday.

Agree.

Toledo did look good

I think they are. But athleticism and good ARE different

Come on clock

So, this win clinches no worse than the #2 seed, right?

Win is a win but that was ugly. Almost as ugly as looking at that floor. Who thought that was a good idea to paint it black.
