Lost to EMU 42-25.  From the AP:

Northern Illinois broke its own NCAA Division I record for futility, scoring just four points in the first half of a 42-25 loss to Eastern Michigan on Saturday.

The Huskies (4-14, 2-4 Mid-American) also broke the record for lowest field goal percentage in a half of the shot clock era (3.2 percent) and lowest field goal percentage in a game (13.1 percent), and tied the mark for fewest made field goals in a half after hitting 1 of 31 attempts in the opening period. Abdel Bader scored on a fast break one minute into the game to put Northern Illinois up 2-0 for its only bucket of the half, and followed that with 29 straight misses.

It is sometimes interesting to read the press releases of a losing team after a game. That is the case with NIU today. On their site the headline is the great defensive effort of the Huskies today. Also of note the fine performance that does so much for the MAC made the headlines on the front page of espn.com.

You can call yourself a "football school" when your football team scores more points than your basketball team.

I would make a donation to charity to see a Jeff McKinney recap of this game.

Except the NIU SID already managed to do one...
