What happened?
Forty-eight hours after dropping a 71-53 decision at Drexel Saturday afternoon, the Huskies were back in action Monday evening at Old Dominion. The Huskies didn’t seem to show any fatigue from the short rest and long bus ride to Norfolk, Va. Quincy Ford nailed a three and converted a layup down low for the Huskies’ first five points, and both teams traded buckets over the game’s first 10 minutes. An advantage on the glass and added scoring punch off the bench from Chris Cooper and Trian Iliadis allowed the Monarchs to build a lead as large as 11 over the next five minutes. NU big man Kauri Black got going late by scoring six points and adding a block and two assists in the final minutes of the half to help the visitors get back in the game and trail 28-25 at halftime.
More hard work on the backboards allowed ODU to push ahead in the second half, grabbing an eight point lead with 9:55 to play. Northeastern hung around, however, and pressure defense forced turnovers which the Huskies converted into points to trail 49-47 with 6:50 to play.
The turning point of the game came with 4:44 to play. With the Huskies trailing 53-49, a poor inbounds pass was intercepted by Cooper near midcourt. Trying to prevent an easy layup or dunk, Black reached out and grabbed Cooper around the waist. The officials deemed the foul intentional, allowing ODU to get two free throws and the ball while Black’s night was done with five fouls. The momentum swing doomed the Huskies, who went 4:53 without a field goal. A late 11-1 run sealed a 69-57 victory for the hosts. Read more…

What happened?
Northeastern got off to a fast start on Wednesday night against Georgia State, hitting 8 of 10 three pointers in the opening half. Unfortunately for the Huskies, they got a dose of their own medicine Saturday at Drexel. The Dragons began the contest hitting 10 of their first 12 shots, including 5 of 6 from beyond the arc. At the 10:56 mark of the opening half, the hosts sported a 25-7 advantage.
Just when it appeared as though Northeastern was in the midst of a blowout, the visitors sprung off the mat and ran off 15 consecutive points to make it 25-22 with 3:35 remaining in the half. NU did so by establishing itself in the paint, collecting 12 points down low. Meanwhile the Drexel offense struggled to get operate, missing five shots and committing six turnovers. After the seven-and-a-half minute drought DU responded, using an 8-0 run of its own to enter halftime up 33-25. Read more…

LOWELL, MASS. — The score line told the story. Northeastern played a relatively even first period, but UMass-Lowell’s relentless forecheck and sparkling goaltending from Doug Carr overwhelmed a shaken Northeastern Huskies team, as the Riverhawks claimed a 4-0 win at the Tsongas Center on Friday night. It was the first time the Huskies had suffered a shutout loss this season, and marked the Huskies’ 3rd consecutive defeat, putting NU in a dangerous position in the race for the playoffs. Lowell’s top freshman (and lone NHL draft pick) Scott Wilson scored two goals en route to the victory, Lowell’s 13th.
