Indiana State @ Northern Illinois

Current Records: Indiana State 6-6; Northern Illinois 3-7

What to Know

The Northern Illinois Huskies will be returning home after a three-game road trip. They will take on the Indiana State Sycamores in a holiday battle at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Convocation Center. Indiana State should still be riding high after a victory, while the Huskies will be looking to get back in the win column.

NIU was just a bucket short of a win on Sunday and fell 61-60 to the Illinois-Chicago Flames. The loss was just more heartbreak for NIU, who fell 65-61 when the teams previously met last November.

Meanwhile, Indiana State was able to grind out a solid win over the Oakland City Mighty Oaks on Monday, winning 78-69.

When the teams previously met five seasons ago, NIU lost to the Sycamores on the road by a decisive 63-52 margin. Maybe the Huskies will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
