We’re well-aware that Northeastern basketball is in the midst of a large winning streak, but that’s not the only Huskies sports story out there. We’ll preview the weekend and impart our NU sports knowledge to you.
- Yeah, so about that winning streak. It’s at 10, so the one question is – will it go to 11? Jason and Will stop by to give us the important details about Saturday’s game.
- There’s also a fan buzz about the game, we’ll look at some of the efforts in progress to get students out to the game.
- Northeastern hockey won two out of three games this past week – is the worst behind them, or will injuries continue to drag this team along?
- Women’s hockey is doing well – 1st in Hockey East, 8th in the nation, and finally got a non-losing decision against UNH earlier this week. Are they headed for an NCAA tournament bid?
- Plus, as always, we’ll get to anything else that’s relevant to Huskies Nation (a.k.a. the NFL playoffs)
It all starts at 3 p.m. tomorrow, and remember (just like our newspaper ad said on Thursday), the opinions expressed are not those of Northeastern University. And we like it that way.
