Saturday Veterans Day 3pm central time. Will be on ESPN+ but if you can make it to the convo, do so.

KenPom App St 121 NIU 245

Mountaineers were 16 and 16 last season and they handily won their exhibition game against the Oakland City (Ind) Mighty Oaks 87-49, of course in Boone.

3pt shooter is Christopher Mantis who went 4-8 behind the line but he attempted no 2's or ft's.

Soph Justin Abson 6'9" had 12 rebs against the Mighty Oaks and last season had 70 blks, most as a freshman and second overall as a Mountaineer. Trevon Spillers 6'7" led the scoring with 16 pts (he also rebounds and blocks well).

This is an important game for the Huskies so go cheer for the good guys. Hopefully Coit will shake off his 23-24 debut and Lovings-Watts, Amos, Konan, Russell and Gebrewhit continue to improve off their good starts they had against a very good Marquette team.

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+3.5 point dogs. Should be a good game, should be a little easier to create open looks.

This is the biggest game of the Burno era! This is a must win game! Huskies win today and they’re on the way to a 20 win season that includes postseason play. Huskies lose today and they at best win 14-15 games. My gut feeling tells me that we will look back and say Nov 11 vs APP ST. Was the day that NIU changed from a football school to a basketball school! Please let’s have the band, and more than 4 cheerleaders and more than 4 silverettes there. Please don’t have the upper bowl seats pushed in it looks horrible. You’re always recruiting so act like who you want to be not who you currently are. Arena looks so much more big time and professional with the seats out empty or not. My stat of the game Huskies need to make 9 or more 3’s

A must win lol

Don't scoff. The biggest game is always the next game on the schedule!

A win today is going to give our guys the confidence to know that they can beat anyone remaining on their schedule. It should be a decent crowd. I would love to see 2,000 in attendance but probably 1400. Mark my words today will change NIU basketball for the better going forward! I’ve got a big group going to Fattys at 12:30 it’s going to be a special day at the convo. Please show up band, cheerleaders, silverettes and turn up the PA and music in there. The convo really can get loud with only 1500 people in it. Time to start winning at home.

This MAC-Sun Belt Challenge is a great idea.

Darweshi Hunter scored another 21 points for Miami today. Could have really helped us this year to have three scoring guards on the court this year.

Coach says Ethan Butler and Nasir Muhammad should play today.

Williams not suited up.

Kind of weird. I left ESPN+ and went back and it worked. Picture quality also had improved.

Who the heck is Peter Ferrari and why is he doing our game…..he just said, “in recent years the Huskies have been making deep runs in the MAC”.

Ah, he needs to check his recent years history.

He really doesn’t seem to know what is going on.

Fwiw, I learned how to pronounce Gebrewhit during the Marquette game and it makes no sense to me.

And I've tried to make it make sense.

Team looks pretty solid so far.

Very solid half. We look much improved.

Nice block by NIU on the driving layup to end the half.

NIU shooting 56% on FG and outrebounding App St 20-14.
