Match Info

The Northern Illinois Huskies escaped with a narrow 72-70 road victory over the Buffalo Bulls in a Mid-American Conference NCAA basketball game on February 18, 2026. Northern Illinois hit a go-ahead basket in the final ten seconds and then got a defensive stop to snatch the win from the hosts. The match was a back-and-forth affair with neither team leading by more than seven points. Buffalo seemed to have momentum late, taking a two-point lead with under a minute to play. On the ensuing possession, the Huskies ran a well-executed set that resulted in an open layup to tie the game, and after a Buffalo turnover, they scored again to take the lead for good. The Bulls had a final look at a game-winning three, but it was off target. The key incident was the composure shown by Northern Illinois in the final minute on the road. This head-to-head result shook up the middle of the MAC conference standings. The Huskies' coach called it a "character win" in post-game comments.
