Day before game-day


Today is a low-key day, with film, scouting, practice and then rest for the team as they prepare for Northern Illinois on Tuesday. I've attached a few photos and look to have one of the assistant coaches blog soon about what goes into scouting the opponent and then passing this information on to the players.


Assistant Coach Mike Blaine goes over his scouting report and film with the guys. Throughout the season, each opponent is assigned to one of the three assistant coaches. This coach is then responsible for breaking down film on the opponent and making sure the team knows everything they can about the other team.


Assistant Coaches Nick Robinson and Mike Blaine work with the guards (Tim Burns and Hillary Haley shown here) on drills.


Graduate Assistant Coach Curtis Peery and Associate Head Coach Jamal Brown (not shown) work with James Cotton and the 'big men' on post moves.


The practice gym (Victor E. Court) at the Convocation Center on Northern Illinois' campus. The women's volleyball team and men's wrestling team also hold their home contests on this court. We practice there on Sunday evening, but have moved to the main court for today's practice.
