Going into the 2012-13 campaign, Northern Kentucky was 6-24 all-time against NCAA Division I opponents in regular-season games.* The six wins were against Xavier (1978 and 1979), Eastern Kentucky (1982 and 1983), Evansville (1983) and Tennessee State (1984). NKU had not met a Division I opponent in a regular- season game since Dec. 10, 2005, when the Norse dropped a 65-46 decision at Brigham Young.

*This counts only schools that were fully Division I at the time of the game as many reclassified after playing Northern Kentucky during the early years of the program. Several schools were also in transition from the small-college ranks to NCAA Division I membership during the 1970s when competing against Northern Ken- tucky (example: Tennessee State declared for Division I status prior to the 1977-78 academic year, but the Tigers did not play enough Division I opponents to qualify as a full-fledged member that season).
