Northern Illinois Scores NCAA Record-Low 4 1st-Half Points

The Huskies broke the records for lowest field goal percentage in a half of the shot clock era (3.2 percent) and lowest field goal percentage in a game (13.1 percent). They tied the marks for fewest points in either half and fewest field goals in a half, after hitting 1 of 31 attempts in the opening period. They finished the game 1-for-33 on three pointers (3%).

Interestingly, they actually scored the game's first bucket. That 2-0 lead was followed by 29 consecutive misses.

It's been a tough year. Their four-point opening period narrowly broke the first-half record of five - which they set earlier this year against Dayton!

Just two games ago the Huskies scored 34 for the entire game - their lowest point total in 67 years. It took them much less time, only 7 days, to best that record in this game, and they did so by a country mile!

For the year they are shooting .356 on twos and .263 on threes, en route to a 4-14 record.
