Another feather has been stuck in the hat of the Northeastern Huskies, and this time it is crimson red.
The Huskies defeated the Indiana Hoosiers 55-42 at Assembly Hall. After coming off twelve days of rest, the Huskies were anxious to get back on the court. And this was no ordinary venue, this was Indiana University, and it truly lived up to all of the hype and history. However, the Huskies did not seem to be caught up in any of that.
Indiana jumped out to an early 9-3 lead, but the Huskies slowly chipped away and took the lead, 15-14 with 9:03 remaining after a Eugene Spates three-pointer. They would not give up the lead for the rest of the night. A Baptiste Bataille lay up at the buzzer gave the Huskies a 28-18 lead going into the locker room.
At halftime, Coach Coen told his players that they need to be ready for a run. He told them that the building will be rocking, and that the Hoosiers will make a run. But he reminded the team that they were 20 minutes away from going home with an early Christmas present. In the second half, the Huskies went out and snatched the present from under the tree, winning easily 55-42. Matt Janning led the way for the Huskies with 17 points. Chaisson Allen added 13 of his own, while Nkem Ojougboh chipped in 8 points and 4 rebounds.
The post game locker room was raucous. Everyone was thrilled with the win and ready to go home for a few days for break. Next up for the Huskies will a trip to Memphis to take on the University of Memphis Tigers.
