That is hard to fathom.

Check out this nice spin job by the NIU athletic department:

NIU posts best defensive effort since 2005-06, allowing just 42 points.


But they forget to mention that NIU set the NCAA record for least amoutn of points in a half!

I gotta believe I could walk into just about any YMCA in Toledo and pick out 7-8 guys that could score more than 4 points in a half against another MAC team. It almost had me wondering if this was back to the era before the shot clock and teams would just hold the ball for an entire half trying to beat UCLA. I seem to remember some of those games where neither team scored more than 20 points for the entire game.

Now I have to look it up...

That's hilarious!!

Well, if we lose to them at all this season it will be a major embarrassment, so we ought to be able to pencil in at least 2 more conference wins. Maybe EMU as well?

It was a brutal game to watch. Lol

In all fairness it was their own record that they broke...

I went to a game last season, or a couple ago where Toledo scored 10 in a half, and they almost didn't get that. It was vs. EMU I think????? 18-10 at half? Anyone else recall?
