On Friday, the Huskies were privileged enough to be taken on a tour of the Parliament of Canada. Although enjoyable, game time could not come fast enough for the group. Hungry to avenge the disappointment of last night’s outing, the Huskies took on an Algonquin team unfortunate enough to run into them after a loss.
From start to finish, the Huskies led the way. After opening up on a 14-2 run, Northeastern did not look back. At the half, the Huskies led 47-33 and broke open the game in the early stages of the second half with a 22-point lead.
The Thunder did not go away though, whittling the lead down to 6. But that would be as close as they got, as the Huskies came out on top 86-70.
Vinny Lima had 23 points and seven rebounds, while Eugene Spates scored 15 and pulled down 10 boards. Matt Smith scored 15 points while Baptiste Bataille ran the show for the Huskies, scoring 13 of his own to go along with six assists and three steals.
In their last game in Ottawa, the Huskies leave on a good note. Spirits were high on the bus ride back to the hotel. Tonight was a must win, and the team made sure that it happened.
Tomorrow will be a practice day for the Huskies. They will also attend an exhibition game that pits defending NCAA Tournament champion Kansas Jayhawks against Carleton University.
