Friday 1pm central vs host Georgia State Panthers on ESPN+

KenPom NIU 215 GSU 190

Panthers lost to Belmont in Nashville 87-89 and Beat WMU 77-70 in Kalamazoo.
They have 4 players in double figures and 8 players avg 8pts or more so they are a balanced team. 6'5" Jayden Turner (GS) leads in rebounding with 11 per contest. Leslie Nkereuwem 6'8", also a grad student, leads with 14 pt average. This is their home opener on a Friday afternoon, so I don't know how their students and other fans will turn out.

Saturday 1pm central vs Little Rock Trojans but as of now it will be blacked out and probably no radio.

KenPom NIU (up or down from 215) LR 247

Trojans beat Texas State 71-66 at home and lost to UIC in Chicago 71-86. 6' KK Robinson, 6'8" DeAntoni Gordon and 6'5" Jamir Chaplin accounted for 97 of their 142 pts and 35 of their 67 rebs.

Why wouldn't there be any radio?

No 1560 or 1330 am, and 94.9 fm signal doesn't reach a big chunk of the nearby southern Fox Valley. At night it's zero. Can't listen on the road while driving. Don't do the apps. If it isn't on ESPN+, forget it.

Nutter playing well. He has 7 of the Huskies 9 points

Hardly anyone at this home game for Georgia St.

Ethan Butler is playing. Glad his injury from last game wasn't too serious.

Nutter is the one keeping us in this game so far.

Yanic is getting bullied. Turning over the ball and not playing well.

Nutter just absolutely dominating them. He's making contested shots look easy.

Nutter is going off. He's as dominant as I am when I'm playing my 10 year old in the driveway.

Took their best shot in the opening minutes, hung right in there. Should be able to create some separation if we can keep up the perimeter defense we've played the last 5 or so.

Hopefully that 3 ball gets coit going. Surprising his first points of the game didn't come until 4 minutes left in the first half.

Georgia St has 15 more FG attempts than us and we are still winning.

I guess if you don't do the apps you don't do the apps.
But, it's available.

Think Xavier Amos came down on someone's foot, he was favoring his ankle and hobbling. They finally pulled him, rather than taking a timeout, after an unsuccessful offensive play and airball shot attempt from 3.

Coit with a very quiet 1st half.

NIU didn't score the last in the last 3:37.

Yanic and Nutter with two fouls. Yanic hasn't played well. They should play Ibarguen more in 2nd half. He's looked better.

Finally a foul call against Georgia St.

We need Coit to turn it on.

Just calling tons of fouls against NIU.

Durosinmi holding his own with the other two in foul trouble

Konan, Nutter, and Ibarguen all with 4 fouls with 8 mins left.
