Siena's Ubiles Named To Naismith List

Siena guard Edwin Ubiles was named to the Naismith Trophy Watch List today. Ubiles is one of 50 players on the list. One player will be selected as the Naismith Trophy winner, as the nations top college basketball player. Ubiles is coming off a season where he scored 15 points per game, and grabbed just under 5 rebounds a game. He will definitely be a handful for the Huskies.

Red and Black Scrimmage Announced

The Huskies will hold their annual intrasquad scrimmage on Thursday, November 12th at 7 p.m. at Solomon Court in the Cabot Center. This will be open and free to the public. Please come and meet the new Huskies and see how the returning Huskies look. It will be the last time to see the team before they leave four days later to travel to Siena. Everyone is encouraged to go and show your support. For those who don't know where the event is, it is at 360 Huntington Avenue across the street from the Marino Center and the Northeastern T stop. If you have any questions, contact me.

Coen Recognized By Litos

CAA guru Michael Litos has recently posted an article about Huskies head coach Bill Coen. It is another great piece by Litos. He talks about how Coen has made the program from the ground up, and is the best coach in the conference. For those of you who don't know about how Coen literally started out at Northeastern with nothing, check this article out. This is an eye opener for those who don't know what Coen has to work with at Northeastern. Hopefully with attention like this, changes will come before it is too late.

Bus Trip To Siena?

There are rumors swirling around that there may be a possible bus trip run up to Albany for the season opener against Siena. Personally I have had numerous people approach me talking about the possible trip. It seems that it would be a slam dunk if enough interest is there, which there should be. Wouldn't you want to go see your Huskies take on a Top 25 team? They would love for you to be there, trust me, Siena is not an easy place to play. Please contact me at holt.ma@neu.edu if you are interested and I will do my best to run it through the sports information and marketing departments to try and get it set up.
