Northeastern came into Sunday 3-0, earning them the #3 seed in bracket play. They had to get through a tough Albany team in which they won in double overtime by a score of 101-96. The Huskies then had the #2 seed in the home town team Penn State. The game was extremely close leading up to the end which resulted in Penn State fouling in hopes of missed free throws to mount a comeback but fell short by a score of 98-91. Their opponent in the championship, the #4 seed Delaware. It was an electric game that came down to Northeastern hitting 1/2 free throws and Delaware throwing up a Hail Mary that got blocked. Northeastern won 74-73 and finished 6-0 on the weekend. Congratulations Huskies!
All teams who participated this weekend played extremely tough. While it might not have been the results they wanted, they were able to get a tune up before getting into conference play.
