POST-GAME THOUGHTS

UNI shot 8% in the first half followed by 23% in half #2. They did get many more shots then the Matadors, but to get to the Dance, you have to make them. Cal St. Northridge lucks out to get their way to a rematch with Illinois.

POST-GAME THOUGHTS

Cal St. Northridge didn't realize that you need to do something to win a Championship. They were outrebounded by 8, and were allowed to go down 17-10 off of turnovers. And the Big 10 Champions finally reach .500 at 11-11 going into the Dance on a 7-1 run, and 8 of their last 10.
