Senior guard Dante Thorpe led the way for Northern Illinois with 23 points while CJ Massinburg had 23 of his own, including a three-pointer with six seconds left to briefly tie things up.
Heartbreaking loss for UB after that shot from CJ Massinburg. They couldn’t hit anything from outside for most of the night and it cost them. With the loss they fall to 17-2 on the season and 5-1 in the MAC. No reason to panic for the Bulls @WKBW
