Huskies ground Rockets in convincing fashion

DeKALB — How does spring break in Cleveland sound?

For the men’s basketball team, there’s no place they would rather be. That’s where they are headed next Thursday for the Mid-American Conference tournament after taking down the University of Toledo Rockets, 71-50, in the Huskies’ penultimate regular season game at the Convocation Center.

The victory clinches at least a share of the MAC West division title for NIU and gives the Huskies one of four first-round tournament byes. NIU’s final seeding and potential opponent in Cleveland will be determined after Friday’s Senior Night game against Ball State University.
