This seems like a great hire for NIU. They got an emerging coach who made a lateral move because NIU was able to pony up big money. The program needed a shot in the arm and this may be it. The Chicago market is wide open to any local college team right now. It was a good idea to use some resources to make a run at it. |

I got it wrong. This should be Bradley Braves Basketball. Same analysis. |

Has NIU ever made the tournament ever? They're not even competitive. The star of the team when I was there was in many of my marketing classes. I knew they were screwed if their star was a smart guy. |

Yes, the last time was 95/95 when they won the Horizion tournie. They've never won a game in the tournament but been there 3 times more than NU. |

It's been awhile since NIU has been in the NCAA Tournament. You have to go back to 1996 when they lost 74-73 to Texas Tech in the first round of the East Regional in Richmond, VA. The Huskies' men's team has been to the "Big Dance" 3 times lifetime in school history. They were there in 1982 & 1991, and also lost in Round 1. Their tourney record: 0-3. |
