Eastern Illinois beat Northern Illinois, 87-81 in the "consolation" game. Our game against SIU just tipped off.

I have 2 questions about the Compass Challenge. The first is how far is it to each of the other directional schools? It would seem that an under 500 crowd says it is too far to travel or the interest is low among the fans. The second question is there some players showing the ability to contribute as the season wears on? 4 of the starters logged 37-40 minutes in the OT win. I see Flores has been missing which may be the extra needed help. I also notice the freshman Alexander is not showing up in the box scores. 6-2 is a good start for the OOC.
From Macomb, it is 165 miles to Matoon, IL (Eastern), 185 miles to DeKalb, IL (Northern), and 251 miles to Carbondale (Southern).
When did EIU get moved to Matoon
Yeah, yeah, yeah - so I'm old and remember when they used to say Eastern was from Charleston/Mattoon. I didn't go to school there, so it's all the same to me.

So do we know why WIU was missing coaches & players? I assume it was COVID related.

Ok, my bad, I thought I saw a tweet saying we were missing players and coaches, maybe they did just mean Flores and Alexander like Tere mentioned. So what about the coaches?
