December 1, 2009 - Basketball hosts Providence

Despite the loss, it was the first time the Huskies hosted a Big East school in over a decade. With over 2,500 in attendance, NU put up a valiant effort only to fall short late in a great effort against a power conference team at Matthews Arena.

December 31, 2009 - Cable Car Classic

Northeastern basketball didn’t come away from this season totally empty-handed. They were able to best Kent State to win Santa Clara’s Cable Car Classic. In itself, the game was yet another back-and-forth fight that went down to the wire.

Northeastern gets a much-needed 3-1 victory over the Friars at home.

I will readily admit I am not a huge fan of basketball.  I watch the occasional rivalry game on ESPN, I watch March Madness (who doesn’t?) but other than that I just can’t get into it.  I used to be a huge Knicks fan, until Isiah Thomas destroyed the game for me.  Ever since then, I’ve struggled to care about the game.

Until Tuesday. Read more…

This seems like a good idea that we should try: find an opposing team’s blog, and do a bit of a question-and-answer e-mail discussion with them. The folks at Friarblog did just that with our very own Keith Lavon. Here’s the result: Read more…
