On Saturday afternoon in DeKalb, Illinois the Northern Illinois Huskies defeated the Western Michigan Broncos in a MAC West rematch. The Broncos defeated the Huskies earlier in the season when Travon Baker and three other Huskies we're ejected after a flagrant foul by Baker on a Broncos player. The Huskies bench was huge in this one as the trio of Laytwan Porter, Chuks Iroegbu and Levi Bradley had 25 points on 11-14 from the field.
Thomas Wilder tried to do everything he could to bring Western Michigan back after a 19-point halftime deficit.
