As we move into the second contest for each school we've already seen some upsets with Buffalo beating Kent State last night and Ball State dismantling Toledo on Wednesday night.
Northern Illinois wants to keep this game under 80 points as that's there style grinding out victories with defense and rebounding. NIU's led most games by the duo of Travon Baker and Marin Maric who both have played outstanding this season.
Maric has shown great growth from his freshman season improving his numbers tremendously in all categories. He's improved his points per game by six, his rebounds per game by five and blocks per game by one.
