Northern Illinois went 9-21 last year and is still rebuilding under second-year head coach Rashon Burno. They had a terrible opener, losing 83-77 to Division II University of Illinois-Springfield allowing 52.7% shooting while getting outrebounded 43-30. Meanwhile, Northwestern won eight of its first 10 non-conference games last season and had no trouble crushing Chicago State in the opener, 85-54. Northwestern is 27-15 ATS as a favorite of 10 points or more, so back home court. Play Northwestern.
