Futility, Thy Name is N. Illinois

[grunewar]

For those of us who have had/discussed LOW scoring games.......

1/26/13 - N. Illinois held to 4 points in 1st half

Northern Illinois broke its own NCAA Division I record for futility Saturday by scoring just four points in the first half at Eastern Michigan.

The Huskies trailed 18-4 at the half after shooting 1 for 31 before halftime, including 29 straight misses.

Earlier this season, Northern Illinois set the record for fewest points in a first half in the shot clock era with 5 against Dayton on Dec. 1.

The Huskies' 3.2 percent field goal percentage in the first half also set a record, breaking Savannah State's 4.3 percent against Kansas State on Jan. 7, 2008.

The lone made field goal also tied a Division I record set by Savannah State in that game
