Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer Junior guard Braylon Rayson leaps to the hoop Nov. 17 against Alma College at McGuirk Arena. The Chippewas defeated the Scots, 79-64.

On Saturday morning, Northern Illinois was the only team undefeated in Mid-American Conference play.

Less than five minutes into NIU's game Saturday against Western Michigan, the Huskies were trailing 9-2 and had four players ejected — including their second and third-leading scorers.

A flagrant foul from senior Detroit native Travon Baker set off a series of pushing and shoving near the NIU bench. Baker was ejected for a double flagrant while the other three were ejected for leaving the bench in the altercation.
