Another hot start for the Huskies helped them improve to 5-0 in conference with a 68-53 win over Towson.
The Huskies jumped out to a 17-0 lead until the Tigers finally scored at 13:25. At the half, Northeastern led 35-17. But the Tigers, led by Josh Thornton’s 25, would not go away in the second half.
Thornton poured in 16 in the second half, hitting 5 out of his 6 three-pointers in the period. The Tigers came within 4, 50-46, when the Huskies slammed the door, literally. Baptiste Bataille stole the ball, and then threw a no-look behind the back bounce pass to Matt Janning who slammed it home.
Manny Adako put the Huskies on his back, scoring 24 points on 12 of 15 shooting while also grabbing 12 rebounds. Matt Janning had 16 points of his own, along with 7 rebounds. Yet again, the opposition was held under 40 percent shooting (34.7), while the Huskies shot 51 percent.
The Huskies won their past four games in seven days, and now will get a nice five day break before hitting the road again for a two game trip to Delaware and Hofstra.
