Northeastern @ William & Mary

Current Records: Northeastern 5-8; William & Mary 5-9

What to Know

The Northeastern Huskies won both of their matches against the William & Mary Tribe last season (62-28 and 68-63) and are aiming for the same result Thursday. Northeastern and William & Mary will face off in a Colonial battle at 7 p.m. ET at Kaplan Arena. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

The Huskies lost a heartbreaker to the Stony Brook Seawolves when they met in December of 2016, and they left with a heavy heart again on Saturday. Northeastern fell in a 65-61 heartbreaker. One thing holding Northeastern back was the mediocre play of guard Rashad King, who did not have his best game: he played for 32 minutes but put up just nine points on 4-for-11 shooting.

Meanwhile, William & Mary came up short against the Drexel Dragons on Saturday, falling 66-56. The top scorer for the Tribe was guard Gabe Dorsey (13 points).

Barring any buzzer beaters, the Huskies are expected to win a tight contest. But bettors beware: they are only 1-3 against the spread when favored.

The losses put Northeastern at 5-8 and William & Mary at 5-9. Northeastern is 3-4 after losses this year, William & Mary 4-4.
