DeKALB | The Huskies (1-6, 1-2 Mid-American Conference) have won 16 of their last 18 homecoming games and will look to improve those numbers against the Buffalo Bulls (15, 0-2 MAC) 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Huskie Stadium.
“
I think if you’re looking at 10 or 12 snaps going the other way [for us], then I think you’re looking at a different situation that we’re in right now, and so you can’t make a mountain out of a mole hill” Rod Carey Football Head Coach
The Huskies are coming off a triple overtime loss to the Central Michigan University Chippewas Oct. 15. Carey said mistakes were made on both sides of the ball resulting in only four of 15 third-down conversions against Central Michigan. “I think if you’re looking at 10 or 12 snaps going the other way [for us], then I think you’re looking at a different situation that we’re in right now, and so you can’t make a mountain out of a
mole hill,” said Carey at Tuesday’s press conference. Redshirt senior quarterback Anthony Maddie will look to improve a stat line that included three touchdown passes as well as two interceptions against Central Michigan. “Maddie is improving. [Central Michigan has] a really good defense, and I thought he played pretty well,” said Carey at Tuesday’s press conference. Junior cornerback Shawun Lurry suffered a concussion in NIU’s loss to Central Michigan and is in the concussion protocol. “I don’t believe that [Lurry] will be playing this week,” Carey said. The game will be broadcast on local channels but will stream on ESPN3. Fans can listen to it on WLBK-AM 1360/ FM 98.9 in DeKalb, AM 560 The Answer in Chicago and Sports Fan 1330 AM in Rockford.
“
All three men were innocent from day one.” Mark Baute Derrick Rose’s attorney
Jurors in Los Angeles federal court reached the verdict in less than four hours after concluding there was a lack of evidence to support the woman’s claims and dismissing her account as unbelievable. “It felt like she was playing us,” said a juror who would only give his first name as Jared. “The second her lawyer started questioning her, she would start crying. I mean, granted, that could be realistic, but I feel l’m pretty good at reading people, and I felt as if it was false.” Rose remained stoic as the verdict was read and later thanked jurors and posed for photos with them in the lobby, draping his left arm
around each one who wanted a souvenir of the Knicks point guard as one of his lawyers snapped photos on their phones. “I am thankful that the jury understood and agreed with me,” Rose said in a statement. “This experience and my sensitivity to it was deep. I am ready to put this behind me and focus on my family and career.” The woman denied having sex at Rose’s place, saying she had a few tequila shots and felt drugged before going home. Her lawyer said the defense invented the story to make it look like she had willingly had sex with the men. The incident in question happened hours later in the early morning of Aug. 27 when she said the three men came to her Los Angeles apartment and had sex with her after she had passed out. The issue for the jury was whether she consented to sex or was too intoxicated to do so. The men all said it was clear she was willing when she stopped the three outside her bedroom door and said, “One at a time.” Defense lawyers tarred her as a gold-digging liar who tried to sway jurors through emotions to get a piece of Rose’s fortune. They claimed she was angry he had

dumped her, so she set him up and brought the lawsuit in hopes of a big payoff. “All three men were innocent from day one,” Rose’s attorney, Mark Baute, said after the verdict. “We’re very happy that the system worked.” Attorney Waukeen McCoy said he will explore appeal options. “It’s a shame for women, for this country, that a celebrity can come into court and slut-shame a woman like my client,” McCoy said. Rose’s lawyer said in closing arguments Tuesday that the suit was a “hoax and a joke” and jurors should not even award $20 because it would doom the future of the onetime MVP and the family and friends he was supporting by violating a morals clause in his player contract and a lucrative deal with Adidas.
“
It’s a shame for women, for this country, that a celebrity can come into court and slut-shame a woman like my client.” Waukeen McCoy Accuser’s attorney
The woman’s lawyer said during closings that the 30-year-old college student was not in it for the money, but was seeking accountability for what was morally and legally wrong. He said the men had never apologized or shown any remorse. “The three men laughed their way home,” McCoy said. The defense portrayed Rose and his childhood pals, Ryan Allen and Randall Hampton, who both work for him, as victims in the case and the lawyers mocked the woman’s lies and demeanor on the witness stand. “I don’t want to call her a liar,” the forewoman said. “I just didn’t feel like there was enough evidence.”
