Sophomore center Marin Maric rises for a dunk in a Nov. 21 game against Eureka. Maric scored 11 points and grabbed three rebounds in Saturday’s game vs. Western Michigan, but his efforts fell short as the Broncos downed NIU 83-66.

Four Huskies were ejected early in the game during a timeout. Senior guard Travon Baker drew a flagrant 2 foul and freshman guard Marshawn Wilson, sophomore guard Jordan Thomas and sophomore center Andrew Zelis were ejected for leaving the bench following the foul.

Western Michigan led 18-7 about halfway through the first half, but sophomore center Marin Maric was sent to the bench with his second foul.
