Wednesday night the Huskies were defeated by the University of Rhode Island Rams. This is now the third loss in a row for the team, who now stand at 3-4 overall.
The Rams came out shooting, opening up to a 15 point lead with only 6:35 left to play in the first half. But the Huskies, sparked by Vinny Lima who finished with 14 points, went on a 23-5 run to close out the half and take the lead 42-39.
At halftime the team had all the momentum and seemed to go into the tunnel with a lot of energy. But the second half did not indicate that. The Rams went on a 16-0 run to start the second half and never looked back, beating the Huskies 85-72.
Matt Janning was once again held to single digits in scoring, with 8 points. Again, the Huskies did not win the battle of the boards and did not capitalize on the Rams 21 turnovers, while only turning the ball over 10 times themselves. The Northeastern bench, led by Vinny Lima and Allen Aragbaye, gave the Huskies a big lift with 28 points.
Tomorrow will be a travel day for the reeling Huskies, who will play James Madison on Saturday at 11 a.m. in what should be a raucous atmosphere. This will be the first CAA game for both teams. The Huskies are looking for answers, hopefully they find them in Virginia.
