NJIT Beats Michigan 72-70 in a Big Upset

The NJIT Mens Basketball has come a long way since the program went into Division I in 2006.  They started out by losing their first 51 games.  For a few years the team played in the Great Western Conference which eventually disbanded.  Today the Highlanders went to the midwest to play the  Wolverines of the University of Michigan who are ranked #17 in the nation.  In a big upset NJIT won 72-70.  This was the first time the Highlanders played a top 25 team.  I just hope that NJIT will be admitted to a conference next season.

The game was on national TV on the Big Ten Network, but I missed it.  It was a rainy day so we decided to take in a movie.  I will make sure to watch the next time NJIT is on TV.
