Basketball provided two more lasting memories in the month of March, concluding Northeastern’s best season in years:
Northeastern and Hofstra tangle in a thrilling CAA quarterfinal matchup that took two overtimes to decide. For the first time under Bill Coen, the Huskies advanced to Sunday night in Richmond.
Northeastern returns to the NIT, matching up and almost overcoming UConn, in front of hundreds of students who made the trip south to Storrs, Connecticut.

The biggest moments in February came as the season inched towards its conclusion:
Hofstra appeared to be in control early, but Northeastern came back to take a dominating win, scoring 45 points in the second half, maintaining first place in the standings.
Continuing a mid-season surge, Northeastern hockey gave fans hope for a late-season comeback when it defeated Boston College in front of a near-sellout crowd at Matthews Arena.
Despite the outcome of the game, the raucous crowd of over 4,400 at Matthews Arena was the culmination of years of resurrecting Northeastern basketball. An appearance on ESPN2 drew unprecedented buzz leading up to game day, and likely created countless new fans.

Here are our picks for the top highlights from November of this season.
This one had all the ingredients: sell-out crowd, rivalry game, two nationally ranked teams, one of them the defending national champion. Chris Rawlings stops 43 shots and NU holds on for an incredible four-plus minutes on the penalty kill at the end to seal one of the most dramatic hockey victories in the past decade.
Though few knew it at the time, this rain-soaked homecoming game at Parsons Field would be the last home game for Northeastern football. Ending in a bizarre finish, the Huskies beat Hofstra 14-13. Their opponents, ironically, would cut football just weeks after Northeastern did.
The game itself was exciting, but it was Chaisson Allen’s buzzer-beater to win it that drew nearly 100,000 views on Youtube. For a different perspective, listen to WRBB’s call of the final shot - one of the top moments of the basketball season.
