While NIU has some portal players, their roster has 32 Seniors. What a great nucleus for any school or coach. I was not surprised to see us lose. Our athletes play the game but certainly don't have the pride and spirit of NIU. Those NIU athletes came to play and never quit. Athletes that play the game like NIU did will almost always slay the giant. Our 3, 4 and 5 star players got whipped. That is on the ND players.
