February 2, 201610 yr 4 point game with 3 minutes left and it was that close most of the game. Drew McDonald led NKU with 23, 8 & 3.
February 2, 201610 yr Definitely a good game. NKU just couldn't get a stop when they needed one. McDonald was very good again. Holland and Danos really struggled taking care of the ball most of the game. Mo Egger got shown the door by an official in this one as well. Apparently calling a ref a dinosaur (he looked like he was almost 70 btw) is grounds for ejection. :lol2:
February 2, 201610 yr Author Here's My Story About Being Kicked Out Of An NKU Game By One Of The Refs. | Mo Egger | ESPN 1530 The game itself was thoroughly enjoyable, although the Norse did not win. Oakland, which has one of the better teams in the Horizon League, won the game by a score of 85-74. The final tally doesn't tell you how close and good the game was, and how hard and well the Norse played as it continues to work its way through its first season in the Horizon League. John Brannen has a team that's fun to watch, is well-coached, and quite frankly, deserves more than the dozen or so students that populated the BB&T student section.

February 2, 201610 yr Also doesn't help matters when a team that shoots 75% from the FT on the season hits 27-30 from the stripe.
February 2, 201610 yr I will be in attendance on Saturday. Ashamed to say it is my first game of the year, but looking forward to it.
February 2, 201610 yr You can sense it coming along for NKU. It will still take a while but you can sense it. Oakland took Michigan State to overtime and also beat Georgia. Lost to UVA by 13 on the road. Good team.

Lost to UVA by 13 on the road. Good team. Oakland is legit. I don't see how you can't be excited for the direction of NKU.
February 2, 201610 yr Author So it was a "DNPM(uch) - Coach's Decision?" I didn't see any other reason.
February 2, 201610 yr So it was a "DNPM(uch) - Coach's Decision?" He picked up 2 fouls with about 15-16 minutes left in the first half, so he sat the rest of the half.

Don't students get into the games free?
