DEKALB, Ill. – The Northern Illinois University Athletics has altered men's basketball game times for home contests against Akron on Tuesday, January 12 and Toledo on Tuesday, February 9. Both contests will now tipoff at 2 p.m. CT. 

Although fans are unable to attend NIU basketball games this season, you can still make your presence felt in the NIU Convocation Center by purchasing a cutout as part of the "Huskie Howl" presented by First National Bank of Omaha (FNBO). For just $60, fans can put their image on a cutout that will remain in place in the NIU Convocation Center for all NIU men's and women's basketball games during the 2020-21 season. Net proceeds from all fan cutouts will benefit the Huskie Athletic Fund.
