NU visits Holy Cross Tuesday.

HC is winless (0-3) and NU is coming off back-to-back losses.

NU should win this game going away.

Yikes.... I suppose you were right

You lead 83-29. Roland made 11 of 12 field goals including all 6 threes.

Edit: It's 85-29. A team you beat, Boston U, is leading at South Carolina

What the what

Didnt check in to this game at all. And its 101-39.

Okay!

You won 101-44. Three-point shooting was 16-29 (.552) to 2-27 (.076). You became the second team from 2010-2011 to the present to win by at least 57 and shoot threes at least .478 better in a game between two Division I teams. The only previous time from 2010-2011 was when Butler won 107-46 hosting Western Illinois on December 21, 2017.

Edit: You became the first Division I team from 2010 to the present to do that in an away game. I'm going to tweet that at twitter.com/EvanJ3535

Definitely didn’t think we’d win like that!

So glad to see Quirin Emanga, Cubrilo, Smith and don’t Eboigbodin get some big minutes.

Strong showed how talented he can be at time offensively.

How the hell did Holy Cross score 71 points at ranked Maryland?

On a side note ... BU won at South Carolina. I know SC is on the low end of the SEC standings, but still a good win. Helps NU in the NET.

Roland became the 30th player from 2010-2011 to the present to score at least 28, make at least 6 threes, have a field goal percentage of at least .846, and have a three-point field goal percentage of at least .857. He is the first player to do that this season, and five players did it last season. He is the first CAA player from 2010-2011 to the present to do that.

It was a great night for two Boston schools. Boston U got their first ever win over an SEC team.

Apparently this is a new mark for the worst defeat in HC history...57 points.

That breaks the mark for worst defeat set 117 years ago!

Holy Cross is a shell of their former self right now so we have to keep that in mind when looking at our guys performances. Still, Strong earned some future minutes. He had some nice early games last year, too. Let's see if he can more consistently contribute this year. I also liked Emanga ' game. If someone goes down he seems like the guy to get the available minutes.

The CAA Record Book doesn't have a margin of victory record. You broke your margin of victory record in your 2,360th game. The 57-point win was 1 above your previous record from a 128-72 win vs. Suffolk on December 3, 1984. I'm going to tweet about both records at twitter.com/EvanJ3535 and cite "Northeastern fan geewizNU of CSNBBS" for the Holy Cross part. I wonder how rare it is for a game to be the largest margin of victory in the history of the winning team and the largest margin of defeat in the history of the losing team. You have the third largest margin of victory in a game between two Division I teams so far this season, and nine games between two Division I teams were decided by at least 57 last season. Of the 12 winners, 5 are P5, 3 are among the best mid-majors and arguably not mid-majors (Gonzaga twice and Memphis once), and 4 are by certain mid-majors. Gonzaga's 98-39 win at Santa Clara on January 24, 2019 is the only conference game this season or last season decided by at least 57.

Hofstra will play Holy Cross on Sunday December 1 at Florida Atlantic University Arena in Boca Raton. As of now, ESPN gives Hofstra an 80.4 percent chance of winning.

Not sure if you saw the game but it was a "perfect storm" kind of thing. We were unconcious shooting the ball. At one point we were at 84%. They were the polar opposite especially from three where they shot two for twenty-seven.

NU hosts Holy Cross this afternoon at 2pm. The game can be seen on NESN.

Joe Pridgen faces his former team. NU smashed HC three years ago in Worcester by 57 points, but Pridgen didn’t play in that game.

This has to be a win over HC. I can’t see NU losing to them at home, despite how we’re off to a bad start.

Should be a good chance to give the young guys plenty of minutes.

We're on pace at halftime for another game with 28 three point attempts.

Woof. I didn't bank out having to sweat that one out

That was discouraging. I don't have a problem with the upperclassmen but I thought the freshmen were no shows. In a combined seventy-five minutrs they gave us ten points, seven rebounds two assists on three for sixteen shooting from the field. Take out Turner's six points and four rebounds and the numbers for the other four are worse than unacceptable. They should be farther along.

Welcome back Chris! I doubt that Coen planned to give him that much time on his first day back but we needed every one of his points and rebounds.

I disagree with your point about the freshmen. 2 months (9 games) isn’t enough for ALL of them to be up to speed. If this happens in late January IMO then your point is very valid. 9 games isn’t enough at this level.

That said, this team has a hard time scoring more than 60 points a game, which is very disturbing and doesn’t bode well for the season right now.

NU holds on to best Holy Cross 59-58. NU’s next game is Dec. 18th at the University of Illinois-Chicago.

You might be right. I'll give them another month. But I'll also say this.....I watch a lot of basketball and in a lot of those games I see freshmen making major contributions. For Holy Cross yesterday it was Batchelder ....the smallest guy on the court.....and this was a typical game for him....unlike with our freshmen where in each game one of them shows some promise and then disappears for a few games.

You may both be right. It's definitely not realistic to expect ALL the freshmen to be up to speed right now. However, I definitely expected at least one to have emerged as a consistent contributor on a nighly basis. I also expected the collective group of 6 to be able to contribute something in the vicinity of 20 to 25 points and 10 rebounds per night.

Maybe that will be happening soon because as Wiz says we need more scoring.
