DeKALB — After dropping both games on its road trip, the men’s basketball team returns home to the Convocation Center for a rematch against the Central Michigan University Chippewas.

The Huskies lost the first game of their road trip against the Ball State University Cardinals 63-59 Feb. 11 in Muncie, Indiana. They then traveled to Oxford, Ohio on Saturday for a rematch against the Miami University–Ohio RedHawks, where they fell 65-60 after attempting a late comeback.

Although the Huskies suffered a pair of losses, NIU’s opponent CMU has dropped its last four games, including a 77-69 loss Tuesday to the Ohio University Bobcats in Athens, Ohio.
