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

What was the final score, gruney?

I had a BV game a few weeks ago, 83-20 final. Thought it would never end.

They lit it up in the 2nd half going 7 for 30.

0-33 from 3pt range...is there a point in the game where you say maybe we should pound inside a little bit?

I don't care enough to even click on it.

Then I'll do the dirty work for you -> 42-25!

I attended NIU. Maybe if they brought me in to ref a game they might do better. Of course, I would be totally unbiased.

Then evidently, Eastern Michigan ain't much better.

Don't you know they were fouled on each shot?

Well at least they scored more than the football team did in the Orange Bowl. That seemed in question in the first half.

Yes, I felt the same thing while watching the game.
