The Huskies took care of business on Saturday when they defeated the University of Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens 73-59 at Matthews Arena. This marked the ninth straight win over Delaware for the Huskies, who swept them again this season.
Early on, the Huskies did not look good and trailed 16-10 with 9:51 left in the first half. Nothing was falling for Northeastern early, and they seemed a little flat. But they would battle back, with a 22-6 run to end the half including a circus shot from Matt Janning as he threw one up from almost behind the backboard while being fouled by Alphonso Dawson.
In the second half, Marc Egerson helped keep the Hens in it by scoring 16 of his 26 points. But the Huskies were just too much for the struggling Delaware club. Matt Janning scored 19 points, Manny Adako scored 17 points along with 7 rebounds, and Chaisson Allen was huge with 12 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, seemingly breaking out of his mini slump.
After three high intensity and emotion games, there seemed to be a little let down in the Huskies play. But they got it together and came out on top fairly easily, improving to 10-1 in conference and 15-6 overall. Now it’s time to go back to Virginia to take on William & Mary. The Tribe are in last place in the CAA at 1-10 in conference and 6-15 overall. Wednesday night’s game will be at 7 p.m. and will air on CSN and ESPN360.com.
