Northeastern Projected Starters

PG Vasa Pusica (R-Jr.): 15.7 ppg, 4.3 apg, .434 3-pt %
G Donnell Gresham (R-So.): 8.6 ppg, 4.2 rpg, .398 3-pt %
G Shawn Occeus (So.): 10.8 ppg, 1.8 spg, 492 FG %
F Maxime Boursiquot (So.): 5.1 ppg, 3.7 rpg, .536 FG %
C Anthony Green (Jr.): 5.6 ppg, 3.3 rpg, .698 FG %


Coming off the best win of the season @ Elon, the Seahawks get rewarded with another difficult matchup where momentum could be key. The students are back with 4 of the next 5 games at home. But NU is more than capable of ruining the party in a crucial CAA matchup, in which a win could move the Seahawks from 8th to as high as 4th in the league standings, depending on what else happens around the league.

Bill Coen, the 2nd-most experienced CAA coach behind William & Mary's Tony Shaver, is well aware of what is at stake every time his team takes the court. This year's squad may lack some experience (no Seniors in the starting lineup), but that has never prevented the Huskies from competing for the league regular season title in years past. Pusica, a San Diego transfer, has done a little bit of everything for Northeastern, and his supporting cast is deep and talented.

While NU is currently ranked last in the league in scoring (72.1 ppg), that number is deceptive, and more indicative of the Huskies playing at a slower pace than nearly every team in the league. The Huskies are efficient, ranking 3rd in field goal percentage (.469), 4th in three-point shooting (.359), and 3rd in Free Throw shooting (.745). Total all of that up and you can see why they're ranked highly in Ken Pomeroy's offensive efficiency rating. Especially since Kenpom.com factors in schedule strength to their equation: Northeastern's non-conference SOS ranked 49th in the nation, prepping them nicely for league play.

Northeastern uses a smallish lineup, knowing their physical guards can rebound just fine without rolling with two true bigs. This helps them defend the three very nicely, where they rank 2nd in the league (.317). Don't expect the Seahawks to let fly too many uncontested threes on Saturday night, which will be a different experience from Thursday's Elon game.

NU doesn't have too many glaring weaknesses overall this season. Even in their 82-66 loss to Charleston on Thursday night, it's hard to point to any particular reason why the gap was so large, other than to say that Charleston was hot from the field (60.0 %) and Northeastern was not (39.1 %). To build off the Elon win and come away with a 2nd straight W, the Seahawks will need to combine intense defense with some great ball movement and hot shooting.
