WOW, our winning streak is pretty fraudulent.'mhope we keep it up!

lol 4 points in 1 half WOW!

EMU only scored 42 and won by 17. This may be the worst, not one of the worst, in the country. Disgusting.

MLIVE is reporting

Quote:On Saturday, NIU scored only four points in the first half of a 42-25 loss at Eastern Michigan, which is one game behind the Broncos in the MAC West standings.

NIU broke its own NCAA Division I record for futility with the four-point first half, and also broke the record for lowest field-goal percentage in a half (3.2 percent) and game (13.1 percent) during the shot-clock era.

^ Does that make NIU the worst team in modern college basketball??

sad

There's bad and then there's downright embarrassing. If their football team wasn't good, I'd feel bad for them.

Quote:Northern Illinois made history once again.

This time it had nothing to do with playing in a bowl game that seemed unfitting.

The NIU men's basketball team broke an NCAA Division I record on Saturday when it scored a mere four points in the first half against Eastern Michigan.

Embarrassingly, Northern Illinois broke its own record for fewest points in the first half during the shot clock era; it scored five against Dayton in a Dec. 1 game.

"Our guys played hard," Huskies coach Mark Montgomery said. "Unfortunately, we just couldn't make a shot.

Quote:The Eagles led 18-4 at the half — the fewest combined points in a half since North Carolina Central (13) and Savannah State (5) combined for 18 in the first half a game on Jan. 20, 2010.

Yeah, I can't believe the coach is defending his team. Going 1-for-31 in the first half -- against EASTERN (not Duke) -- is just bad coaching. His players were obviously hung over and needed Gatorade to set in to shoot a bit better 2nd half.

That's about 5-6 gimmies for WMU with CMU, NIU and EMU.

we should have no trouble winning the West. Right???

I'm going to post a janitor pic....

LOL

If we don't...it will be a great disappointment.
