Everything went NIU's way against the Eastern Illinois Panthers on Wednesday as they made off with a 90-70 win.

Meanwhile, things were close when Idaho and the Pacific Tigers clashed last week, but the Vandals ultimately edged out the opposition 84-81. It took four tries, but Idaho can finally say that they have a victory on the road.
