I know the dive will come to end and I GUARRANTEE a Huskie victory. If we lose this one no more posts from me until February.

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

Need this one to stop the skid. Fingers crossed.

Nutter & Konan still out

Good first 4 minutes, hitting some open threes early, 11-3.

I have to say it. Crump

0-3 at the line already, can basically just foul him every possession hack-a-shaq style and im not sure they would break 30 points

Apparently, you guys didn't do a good job teaching him to shoot free throws-Just Kidding

Half our team is gonna be fouled out before this game ends.

Good half - Coit pacing the team with 17 in the first half, much needed from him with all the guys out.

Key minutes in that half from Butler & McPhereson. With Durosinmi and Ibarguen getting in foul trouble early dealing with Brown, was impressed Butler was able to hold his own defensively and on the glass, and picked up two key baskets when the offense was stalling.

Heavy minutes for the key guys in a fast paced game, hope we are a little quicker with timeouts in half 2 to avoid the typical second half swoon. 15 point lead, need to hang on to this one.

If they just play WMU EVEN for the first 5 minutes that would be an improvement from these second half swoons.

Does anyone know if the NIU radio team or Burno gave any updates on these two or Williams?

Foul situation getting dicey with over 12 to play

Gebrewhit is an absolute turnover machine. Constantly dribbles/passes into traffic.

5 point lead with 5 to play, unable to get any stops defensively. This flagrant foul on WMU was massive to kill some momentum.

Durosinmi fouls out, Ibarguen fell hard on his back and now is with the trainer. We're down to Butler and Amos.

Amos and Lovings-Watts been playing with 4 fouls. We lose either of them and points are gonna be hard to come by outside of Coit. Our offense has reverted to essentially settling for 3 pointers, meanwhile WMU keeps feeding it to their transfer Brown and we foul him.

This is getting tough for huskies to pull out

Amos now fouled out.

Also just realized we haven't played Zion Russell at all. Is he injured too?

Our offense, which we have none of these last 13 mins, is pretty much dead. No one is scoring and Coit is just jacking up threes and missing.

Someone from NIU drive the ball and try to generate foul shots. Seems to be the only way we are gonna get any points.
