DeKALB — For the second game in a row, the men’s basketball team fell into an early-game hole and had to play from behind the entire game.

After trailing 19-5 Thursday night in the first half against Saint Mary’s College – California, the Huskies again fell behind by 14 points Saturday against University of California – Davis.

While NIU was able to battle back against the Aggies by halftime, it suffered its second consecutive loss as the Aggies held on for a 66-57 win.
