NIU basketball: Huskie greats returning to NIU Convo Center for doubleheader

There will be plenty of nostalgia inside the NIU Convocation Center on Saturday.

With the Northern Illinois men's and women's basketball teams participating in an afternoon doubleheader, the Huskies are bringing back more than 60 former players and coaches and will be honoring the late John McDougal, a legendary NIU coach who died in October, with a halftime ceremony during the men's game.

The Northern Illinois women's team kicks things off by hosting Western Michigan at 1 p.m. and the men will take on Eastern Michigan around 3:30 p.m.

It will be a who's who of former Huskie greats in the crowd.
