[NU Sports] 39-25 NU @ 1/2 vs NIU in Opener

[Weinbaum, Willie]

They didn't say anything more than the hope is he'll be back in a month.

I neglected to mention the big first half Luka Mirkovic had - - he was NU's leading scorer, then Nash & Thompson.  Thompson seems to have done a good job directing the offense.

Lead down to 8 in second half, five minutes in.

Any word yet on extent of Coble's injury?

Listened to some on http://sports.wnur.org/ and was glad to hear that with Coble out, Carmody went with some big guy combinations, including using Rowley & Peljusic together.  And Thompson and Nash seem to be aggressively picking up the offensive slack left by Coble's injury.

Cats were down early but surged against a respectable Northern Illinois team, capitalizing on NIU turnovers and fouls.

Late in half, Jeff Ryan got shaken up.  Possible leg injury.

If Shurna and Crawford can get cooking, things'll really be encouraging.
