Huskies top Illinois Tech

Junior guard Eugene German chipped in 17 points and 5 assists in his first game of the 2018-19 season during the men's basketball team's narrow 73-66 victory over the Illinois Tech Scarlet Hawks Saturday at the Convocation Center.

The 2017-18 Mid-American Conference leading scorer missed the Huskies’ (2-1) first two games of the season due to an indefinite suspension from competition stemming from an Oct. 24 retail theft charge.

Senior guard Dante Thorpe and sophomore guard Zaire Mateen were suspended along with German for the retail theft charges and made their return to the court Nov. 9 against Northern Kentucky.
