Western Michigan Broncos to Host the Duquesne Dukes Sunday
Northwood, predicted 11th in the Great Midwest, won 85-81 with Parker Day scoring 20 points, marking the second Division II upset over Division I this week.
- On Thursday night, Division II Northwood Timberwolves beat Western Michigan Broncos 85-81 in an exhibition and begin their regular season on Nov. 14 against Ferris State.
- Northwood, picked 11th in the Great Midwest preseason poll, was the second Division II school this week to upset a Division I team after Hawaii Pacific, with its last such win on Nov. 13, 2005.
- John Simpson scored eight straight points late, including the final with 32 seconds left, while Julian Lewis hit 4 of 8 from three and 3 of 4 free throws.
- Northwood closed the game by going 3 of 6 from the free-throw line in the closing seconds to seal the win after Western Michigan's 4-3 advantage was the Broncos' final lead.
- Given the rarity — last occurring Nov. 13, 2005 — the win matters for Northwood as it prepares for its upcoming season opener against Ferris State, highlighting Division II competitiveness this week.
