After struggling for the past week or so, the Huskies put on a good show for the cameras of ESPN2 against Wright State for their BracketBusters showdown.
The Huskies trailed early, 7-2, but came back to grab the lead 9-7. For most of the first half the Huskies and Raiders wrestled over the lead, but the Huskies would take the lead for good with 4:14 left in the first half after a Eugene Spates jumper.
Spates hitting jumpers was one of the themes of the day. The other was Chaisson Allen hitting jumpers as well. Spates finished with a career-high 22 points, and Allen finished with 20 points, including 3 of 4 shooting from behind the arc. Matt Janning scored 8 points, while dishing out 4 assists and grabbing 6 rebounds.
This was a huge game for the Huskies, who have now ended their three game losing streak. The victory was quickly put behind them, and the revenge game against Drexel was put directly in their sight. It was also due to the Huskies having to scramble out of the locker room in less than 30 minutes so they could get on the road to catch their flight in Pittsburgh to return to Boston. Due to the games being assigned only two weeks before they are played makes it extremely hard to plan and book trips that are cost-effective. But the Huskies, thanks to Steve Scalzi, made it with time to spare.
