Pardon us for the lack of updates, but the travel and lack of wireless internet in our immediate hotel has been a minor roadblock in reaching out to you, the readers. On our second full day here in Santa Clara, California, we got to take in a lot of basketball. First, a Huskies practice at the Leavey Center, home of the Santa Clara Broncos, and then we watched the local Golden State Warriors take down the powerhouse Boston Celtics. Don’t worry, we also were able to fit in tons of game prep for tomorrow night’s match up between the Huskies and the Broncos in the first round of the Cable Car Classic. The Huskies will be taking the court at 9 PM EST followed by the Kent St./Wofford match up immediately following. Northeastern will look to continue their winning ways coming off a victory in the 7th place game v. SMU in the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic where they shot 56% from the field and deployed some ferocious defensive tactics.
Make sure to catch all the action starting at 8:50 PM EST on your home for Huskies sports 104.9 WRBB on WRBBSPORTS.com and also on your radio dials in the Boston area on 104.9 FM.
From not-so-sunny Santa Clara, Farewell.
P.S. I miss saying Aloha.

On our final full day in Hawaii the Huskies get there first victory of the holiday road trip with a statement victory against Southern Methodist University. After a 6 a.m. wake up call we boarded the bus and headed over to the stadium. From the time this team entered the stadium for warm-ups, to the opening tip all the way through the rest of the game this team had some extra hop in there step.
This was a critical game for the Huskies to get back on top and the whole team stepped up. Terrific unselfish play by the Huskies, coupled with awful fundamentals by SMU led to a Husky victory. They controlled the game from the opening tip and now we enjoy our final rays of sun while in Hawaii before heading to California. We fly out tomorrow afternoon, for a 6-hour flight to the San Francisco area and then we will bus it down to Santa Clara for the tournament.
The team will have two full days to prepare for their first game against the host team for the Cable Car Classic, Santa Clara University. It should be a lot of fun and myself and Will are going to take you through all the action. Look out for more blog posts and tweets as we still have 6 days left on this holiday road trip as the Huskies still have an opportunity to come out of this trip with winning record. Merry Christmas to everybody as myself and Will would like to give a special happy holidays to our families back home. Aloha and talk to you all soon.

The Broncos outplay NU from start to finish and take a decisive 75-60 win.

Another 7 A.M. HST wake up call was on the schedule for us radio announcers and the Northeastern Men’s Basketball team. This early wake up time was earned through a first round loss to the St. Mary’s Gaels. Unfortunately, we’ll be starting even earlier on Friday after the Huskies lost to the Western Michigan University Broncos.
The same issues that plagued them in Game 1 were recurring early this morning. The Huskies allowed 10+ 3-pointers for the 3rd consecutive game on the way to a 75-60 loss at the hands of the Broncos. An ugly game to call from start to finish led to every Husky player touching the floor; even freshman Dinko Marshavelski seeing his first action of the year. Now the Huskies will go on to face the loser of SMU/Charleston in the final game of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic on Christmas Day at 2 P.M. EST with pregame coverage starting at 1:50 P.M. EST. We will be the only broadcast team covering the game on 104.9 WRBB and WRBBSPORTS.com. Make sure to tune in to hear the Huskies try and bounce back while you’re opening your presents under the tree.
Myself and Jason will be taking in the sun and surroundings on our day off tomorrow. Look out for another post choc full of pictures detailing our travels.
Aloha!
