The Northern Illinois Huskies rebounded after a tough loss this past Saturday in Kalamazoo defeating the Chippewas 75-70. The Huskies were led by Marin Maric, Travon Baker returning after being ejected Saturday night and surprise contributor Levi Bradley. It wasn't all good for the Huskies as they struggled early with defense and shooting putting themselves in an early hole. A sluggish start to this game as the Chippewas used a 23-7 run to gather a 33-20 lead with six minutes remaining in the first half.
