DeKALB — The Huskies’ pre-conference schedule looked to be one that posed several challenges. That reality came true Saturday during the team’s first match up.
During the opening of the 2019-20 men’s basketball season against the University of Northern Iowa at the Convocation Center, the Huskies found themselves down 20 points in the second half. At one point, the team cut the lead to five points late in the game.
Northern Iowa held on for a 64-54 win.
“It was a hard-fought game,” Head Coach Mark Montgomery said. “It wasn’t the result we wanted, but I thought the team showed a lot of character.
