A warning from Tod Kowalczyk came in the aftermath of last Friday’s loss at Bowling Green: watch out for Northern Illinois.
The Huskies are better than their record indicates, David Coit is one of the Mid-American Conference’s leading scorers, and teams are dangerous when there are no stakes. Kowalczyk laid it all out.
In nightmarish fashion on Tuesday night at Savage Arena, everything the Toledo coach said came to fruition in an improbable 75-72 loss. Coit had 27 points, and without their second, third, and fourth-leading scorers, Northern was desperate yet loose, proving to be a toxic amalgamation for the Rockets.
