Huskies Stay Hot

The Huskies remain perfect in conference play after putting a hurting on the Hofstra Pride, 73-50.

It was the big men today who paced the Huskies. Nkem Ojougboh scored 13 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, while Manny Adako scored 16 while snatching 3 rebounds. Chaisson Allen, despite shooting 2 for 11, finished with 8 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 steals.

Eugene Spates sparked the onslaught with three triples in the first half. Matt Janning scored 10 for the Huskies along with 3 assists, while only shooting 4-12 from the field including 0-4 from three.

Most important for the Huskies was their suffocating defense. The Pride finished shooting only 38 percent from the field. The coaching staff has set a challenge to the team; to see how many times they can hold a team under 40% from the field. So far, they are taking that challenge very seriously.
