Men’s basketball falls to Northern Illinois

The Falcon men’s basketball team lost to the Northern Illinois Huskies 93-62 after defeating them earlier this season, as the Falcons now sit at 3-4 in league play.

“We didn’t come to play,” Falcons coach Michael Huger said. “From start to finish our guys thought it would be like the game over in BG and they didn’t come ready to fight and we lost by 30. We have got to come ready to fight every time we step onto the court.”

Sophomore guard Rodrick Caldwell had 13 points to go along with 11 from junior forward Demajeo Wiggins. Wiggins’ double-double streak came to an end in this game as he only could corral eight rebounds against the Huskies.

“We didn’t respond to them at all. We didn’t come to play,” Huger said. “I don’t know what it was. You can’t continue to blame it on being young and all of that, we have enough games under our belts. We have to come ready to fight and we didn’t come ready to fight. I told them they were going to be most physical this game. I told them they were going to drive the ball more this game. Everything we told them they were going to do they actually did. We didn’t come prepared. I don’t know if our guys weren’t listening and paying attention to detail or just think it was going to be easy like they thought like the game at BG. They thought they were going to play the same game and do the same things and teams make adjustments. We make adjustments and we have to come ready to play and ready to fight and we didn’t do that.”

The Falcons finished with mixed team stats in this one as they shot .286, perfect from three point range, but had 13 turnovers.

“I thought we played poorly in the first half, we didn’t share the ball,” Huger said. “We were very selfish, we took selfish shots and when you do that it’s contagious, one guy gets it and another guy gets it and now your whole team is selfish and we didn’t share the ball. Down seven (after the first half) I thought we were fortunate and it showed in the second half, we didn’t come to play.”

The team will next play on Saturday, Jan. 27, on the road against the Toledo Rockets.
