Neither of these teams are playing well, but there’s hope for the Northeastern Huskies considering they’ve played Harvard, Providence, and Syracuse. I wouldn’t put too much stock into this Northeastern start, as their schedule hasn’t been an easy one. On paper, the Northeastern Huskies will have the best player on the floor, and they’re capable of shooting better. I’ll lay the bucket.
