Scouting: NIU @ Toledo

Northern Illinois (7-19, 3-10) at Toledo (4-24, 1-12)

When: 6 p.m. at Savage Arena

Radio: WSCR 670-AM, WJOL 1340-AM, WLBK 1360-AM

The skinny: The Huskies drag their eight-game losing streak to Ohio. They knocked off the Rockets 64-54 on Jan. 15 as senior Xavier Silas (22.7 ppg) produced a team-high 20 points. The MAC’s leading scorer might not be able to play today after injuring his left ankle during Wednesday’s home loss to Central Michigan. Redshirt freshman guard Antone Christian has been picking up the slack. He owns five double-figure outings in NIU’s last nine games.
