What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted?

The Huskies fell to George Mason on Saturday, dropping their third game in their past four contests.

Once again, it was the second half that plagued the Huskies. And again, they allowed 47 points in the second half to the Patriots, while keeping them to only 17 in the first half. Matt Janning scored 13 points, but again only took 13 shots, while Chris Alvarez and Matt Smith chipped in 7 points each.

Manny Adako was extremely under the weather, and only played 12 minutes all coming in the second half. After Adako was not able to attend practice Friday night and was only able to stomach down some soup, coach Coen decided to save him for the second half. The strategy paid off in that the Huskies were able to earn the lead at the half, but they again could not stop a second half onslaught by the opponent.

It was not a happy Valentine's Day for the Huskies. Luckily, Virginia Commonwealth also fell on Saturday. So the Huskies still are in first place, barely. It has been said many times on this site, and it will be said again; it is time for someone to step up and take control of the game for the Huskies. Someone needs to take the game into their hands and dominate, and get the bucket when they need it most. Until then, the Huskies will seemingly struggle. It will be back to the drawing board for Northeastern, as they host Georgia State on Wednesday night in Boston.
