    First it's football now its basketball, the NIU curse strikes again

    Hey, just doing some research about the team this week. I was in Chicago for holiday break and was close to the Sears Center but the trip was devoted to family time...

    So I wanted to see how we finished in the tournament and The Sports Network had a story on the Texas Southern Golden Eagles and I think the writer needs to do his research on college hoops...


    Golden Eagles host Tigers in Chicago Invitational Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) -

    The Tigers have still yet to win a game this season, dropping three straight with losses at Texas-El Paso (69-63), Cincinnati (82-51) and Northern Iowa
    (74-67). The loss to NIU was part of the Chicago Invitational."


    If you're interested in the whole article i'll post it right here:

    First it was the selection show for the football team now it's this, it happens to be UNI not NIU...

    it's not really anything new. we've been called NIU on occasion for years and years. Probably ever since the college changed it's name to Northern Iowa

      That makes me sick.
      "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

          The Auburn official website called us the "Golden Panthers."

          Kind of has a nice ring to it.
