ANALYSIS: Troubleshooting NIU"s offensive woes

The offensive struggles of Northern Illinois’ men’s basketball team this season have been well-documented.

The Huskies (5-23, 3-12 Mid-American Conference) average 54.4 points a game, one of the lowest marks in the nation and have broken the 70-point mark only four times.

They set numerous NCAA records for offensive futility against Eastern Michigan, scoring only four points in the first half to set the record for fewest points scored in a half in the shot-clock era. The Huskies also scored five points in the first half against Dayton earlier in the season.
