Northern Illinois is 6-1 at home this season and it's in double-revenge mode after losing both meetings with Central Michigan last year. The Huskies have won three in a row overall, including Saturday's dominating 73-56 victory over Akron. The Huskies shot a blistering 56.6 percent and were led by Eugene Herman, who poured in 27 points and Dante Thorpe added 15 points against the Zips, who were held to 34.0 percent shooting. Northern Illinois is a great shooting team with a .502 field goal percentage overall and .404 from beyond the arc. Central Michigan comes off two overtime games winning at home against Akron before losing 97-87 to Bowling Green on Saturday. The Chippewas were outscored 19-9 in the extra period and shot only 42.2 percent for the game against the Falcons. The Huskies are a medium-sized favorite in this matchup, so play Northern Illinois on the moneyline.
