The Central Michigan Chippewas (3-6, 2-3 MAC West) and Northern Illinois Huskies (2-7, 1-4 MAC West) were both in dire straits on Wednesday night, needing a win to keep their hopes alive— and their critics off their backs.
It was ultimately the Chippewas who emerged triumphant despite a shaky performance and a lot of shuffling parts to improve to 11-1 under Jim McElwain in November, while the Huskies are left to wonder why in a game which could have been won under different circumstances.
This week, our NIU writer Dave Drury joins me to talk the Huskies side of the ball.
