NIU was expected to lose against the Indiana State Sycamores last Thursday, but instead they received a nice stocking stuffer. NIU took their contest against Indiana State 67-57. Guard Keshawn Williams took over for NIU, finishing with 32 points (a whopping 48% of their total) in addition to nine boards.
Meanwhile, the Zips ended the year with a bang, routing the Concord Mountain Lions 84-58 on Friday.
Their wins bumped the Huskies to 4-9 and Akron to 8-5. In their victory, NIU relied heavily on Williams, who had 32 points along with nine rebounds. Akron will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
