This One Hurts For Northeastern
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Columns
8 Mar 2010For Northeastern, the CAA Tournament didn’t go quite how they expected it to, and the way it ended made it especially difficult to take.

Huskies Not Ready to Go Home Yet
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Columns
6 Mar 2010Call it what you will, but any way you slice it, Northeastern wasn’t about to go home just yet. It took two overtimes, but the Huskies came away with a hard-fought quarterfinal win.

CAA: Colonial Teams Get Bracket Busted
By: Michael Protos in: Conference Notes
21 Feb 2010The biggest loser of the ESPN BracketBusters weekend was clearly the CAA, which dropped nine of 12 games, including three by the conference’s possible bubble teams.

Northeastern Continues to Look An Important Year Older
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Columns
11 Feb 2010One game at a time, Northeastern looks more and more like a team that learned the painful lesson of last season. The latest example of this was the Huskies’ 62-53 victory over Georgia State on a snowy night in Boston.

Huskies Look Like They’ve Learned Their Lesson
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Columns
31 Jan 2010Last season, Northeastern got off to a great start in the CAA before fading down the stretch. The Huskies have started strong again in the CAA this time around, and look like a team that may have learned from last season.

Can Northeastern Avoid a Repeat of 2008-09?
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Columns
24 Jan 2010After knocking off VCU on Saturday, Northeastern is a hot team. They have won 11 in a row and are 8-1 in the CAA. Last year, they were in a similar situation and fizzled out; can this year’s team avoid a similar fate?

Bracket Buster: Northeastern Shuts Down Wright State
By: Bill Kintner in: Conference Notes
21
Feb
2009
In this game of two defensive-minded teams, Wright State succeeded in shutting down Northeastern’s two top scorers, but their whole effort sprung a leak as Chaisson Allen exploded for 22 points and Eugene Spates had a career day, as the Huskies defeated Wright State 69-57.
It was as if it were a set up in advance for Virginia Commonwealth, with its returning CAA Player of the Year now a senior, leading the league in assists and 5 points ahead of the second best scorer. And as Andy Katz of ESPN has pointed out more than once, it isn’t just in the Big East (and in Big Ten football) that schedules are unbalanced, and often grossly unfair. For the moment the twelve team CAA has determined not to split into two divisions, supposedly because all the Virginia rivals want to play one another twice (yet oddly, VCU and George Mason just play once).

Vaughan’s Terrific Outing Makes us Appreciate the Game

Thankfully, it appears John Vaughan will be okay after what happened Wednesday night at Matthews Arena. A report on Thursday said he will be out for at least a week, but it’s certainly better than being a life-changing injury, which some at the arena surely feared.
A key opening stretch of four games in eight days for each team has just concluded. While there are still 13 CAA games left to play for each team, how a team starts can influence how they finish, especially if they start strong or in the hole.
Northeastern showed something Monday night in demolishing Hofstra at Matthews Arena. It’s one game, but it didn’t happen in a vacuum, as some of what led to this 73-50 win has been developing for a while. If it keeps up, it won’t look like just one game later on.

Colonial Notebook: Symmetry in the Standings and Change of Pace for Tribe
By: Phil Kasiecki in: Conference Notes

2009
CAA play has begun in earnest, and already it’s gotten interesting. As we enter the middle of the big five-day stretch with three games for each team (save for Drexel and VCU, who play their third game of the stretch on Thursday), there is some symmetry in the standings as three teams are 2-0, six are 1-1 and three are 0-2. But that’s not all. After five of the six games played in December went to the road team, the home teams had their revenge on Saturday as only Drexel pulled out a road win at Hofstra.
It was only a couple of weeks ago that Northeastern looked like it was at the beginning of a very promising season. Despite not showing up against Michigan in their second game of the season, the Huskies bounced back with impressive wins at Providence and against Holy Cross. They stood at 3-1 through four games and had two more home games left before they would be on the road until the new year.

It’s been a very, very long four years for the Boston University men’s basketball team. But the Terriers may have finally exorcized some of their demons from the past four years with a huge victory over the Huskies of Northeastern.

2008
Ever since Northeastern left the America East Conference for the Colonial Athletic Association in 2005, the cross-town rivalry between the Huskies and Boston University hasn’t been the same. The teams have only played once per season, save for the 2005-06 season when they did not play at all, and the games have been in November instead of January and February and with the occasional March game mixed in during the conference tournament.
