Time to mix them up for a couple of possessions with the 1-3-1.

Even the refs have scouted Ali now.

Keep it up!

Nice to see X's family there.

"Put it in the dunk tank." Yikes.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

This color commentator is using all of the colloquialisms and clichés. Trying way too hard and sounding looking like a fool

Nice crowd. Do not adjust your television set.

A little known fact- Barbed wire was a key product in DeKalb's history.

Second in the league in scoring on the 1st place team. He's as good as anyone I have seen in the MAC this year. He gets my vote for now.

This MAC season started with three strong contenders (Toledo, Buffalo and OU) and two just a step back (UA and PCCC). Buffalo has been a huge disappointment. UA and PCCC have . The rest of the conference has been as bad as I can recall in recent years, almost Horizon League middle of the pack bad. Wright State is 3rd in the Horizon and would be middle of the pack in the MAC this year.

An early start at NIU will cut the crowd by 25%, taking it down to double digits.

You could certainly tell that Miami had scouted and figured out how Ali pounds the ball and leans in with his shoulder.

I remember one game up there was Marin Maric ran the "dog" out of Big Dog beating him up the floor over and over. Big Dog had a decent offensive game but Maric had a bunch of easy points in transition.

I think we should start a GoFundMe to rescue Hilltopper from the Bahamas.

The City hasn't had an arena since the Akron Armory. At the time the Armory met the wrecking ball in the early 80's, the flourishing Coliseum was in nearby Richfield and gave those in the area a false sense of security relative to a nearby arena. When Infocision was built, the leaders should have seized on the opportunity to fund a new arena or a revamped JAR. I'd have much preferred a scaled down Infocision with some monies directed at basketball. I think this one of Dambrot's frustrations, him thinking that he built a good program to play in an outhouse while football was able to produce crap in a castle. I think the JAR could be okay with some modifications, primarily in reconfiguring the seating. Most importantly, they need to get rid of the damn track and bring the upstairs seating towards the floor. There are some decent basketball arenas on worse footprints than the JAR. A good college arena is about sightlines and crowd enthusiasm and involvement not about pretty lounges and technology.

He sweated like NWAkron does when the t-shirt cannon comes out!

He was runner-up for Indiana Mr. Basketball as a senior.

I thought at one point there was a 4 or 5 game limit of actual play but that goes back to early Dambrot and Eggers. I think 4 games is the football limit. I recall something more recent of 30% of games and a first half of the season injury being the requirements.

That was a women's game. OU beat NIU in their men's game on January 25th.

The Zips head into lovely DeKalb, Illinois Tuesday to face 6-14 Northern Illinois on what may be the MAC’s ugliest basketball court. NIU is 3-7 in the MAC with wins over PCCC, Eastern Michigan and WMU. They are 1-6 in their last 7 MAC games. The MAC coaches projected NIU to be the worst team in the MAC in the preseason poll. They stand currently in 10th, ahead of EMU and WMU. 6’3” sophomore guard Keshawn Williams leads the Huskies at 15.9 ppg. 6’8” senior guard Anthony Crump (Helen Crump’s nephew) leads rebounding at 5.2 ppg. NIU is last in the conference in scoring offense at 63.5 ppg.

I don't know the redshirt rules but I wonder if he is up to the limit that if he plays he is over it.

Whew, had the under on a 133.5 total.

I prefer-

Wynn putting in minutes as a big today.
