The Chicago Sun-Times: NIU obstacle: 3 in a road

Consider this: Since Novak's masterful ways took complete hold in 2002, NIU is 13-3 in MAC home games -- and also 13-3 in MAC play away from home. Dating to 2004, the Huskies have won seven of their last eight regular-season conference road games, with the only loss a 48-42 overtime decision against eventual MAC champion Akron last September.
