DeKALB – Northern Illinois athletic director Sean Frazier has some lofty hopes for crowds for the Huskies basketball programs this season.
Lofty may be an understatement.
The men's basketball team is coming off its best season in two decades and the women's team is entering its second season under coach Lisa Carlsen and the optimistic Frazier said Huskies basketball is heading in the right direction and hope more fans get on board for the 2016-17 season.
He pointed to the crowds that show up for the basketball games between DeKalb and Sycamore High School – which frequently bring a large crowd, around 4,000 or so, when they play annually at the NIU Convo Center.
