Who's Playing

Northeastern @ College of Charleston

Current Records: Northeastern 6-14; College of Charleston 10-9

What to Know

The Northeastern Huskies won both of their matches against the College of Charleston Cougars last season (67-62 and 68-66) and are aiming for the same result Saturday. The Huskies and College of Charleston will face off in a Colonial battle at 4 p.m. ET at TD Arena. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Northeastern was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Thursday as they fell 67-62 to the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks.

Meanwhile, College of Charleston was close but no cigar on Thursday as they fell 76-73 to the Hofstra Pride.

Northeastern is expected to lose this next one by 6. Those sticking with them against the spread have guts, to put it politely, as the team has let down bettors in their past six games.

The losses put Northeastern at 6-14 and the Cougars at 10-9. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: The Huskies are 17th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.6 on average. College of Charleston has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the game with the ninth most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 15.4 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
