Scouting: Seattle @ Northern Illinois
By Lindsey Willhite
Seattle (9-16) at Northern Illinois (7-17)
When: 3 p.m. at NIU Convocation Center
Radio: WSCR 670-AM, WLBK 1360-AM
The skinny: Thanks to ESPN’s BracketBusters concept, the college basketball world finally gets the first meeting between the Huskies and the Redhawks. Seattle is an independent that shocked Oregon State and Virginia during the first six weeks of the season but has lost four of its last five. The Redhawks rank among the nation’s worst shooters in FG percentage (.394), 3-point percentage (.285) and FT percentage (.654). NIU has dropped eight of its last nine games as the defense continues to be a disappointment.
