Coming into Wednesday’s game against Kent State, the Northern Illinois Huskies were averaging 90.6 points per game, which was good for the second highest total in the country.
That number grew by the end of the night, as the Huskies totaled 98 points in their 98-97 win over the Flashes (7-9, 1-3 MAC).
“I told (the team) that if this game is in the 80s or 90s, you’re going to need a heck of a lot of luck to win,” Kent State head coach Todd Starkey said after the game. “(Northern Illinois) wants to outshoot their opponents; they want to out-possession their opponents.
