The Northeastern Huskies and the Connecticut Huskies will both be trying to pick up a win on Monday when they battle at XL Center.
ABOUT NORTHEASTERN (1-0): The enigmatic Murphy, a 6-8 shooting forward, has become a basketball vagabond traveling from Duke to Florida and is a sixth-year graduate student. The son of former NBA player Jay Murphy knocked down three 3-pointers, playing the perfect complement to Williams. Williams averaged only 6.8 points last season but looks to fill the void left by Quincy Ford and David Walker, who left after scoring a combined 3,200 points in their careers.
ABOUT UCONN (0-1): Despite losing Shonn Miller and Daniel Hamilton, the Huskies’ backcourt is believed to be a strength but guards Rodney Purvis and Jalen Adams combined to shoot 6-for-22 and the Huskies were outrebounded 37-33 by a Wagner team without a player taller than 6-8. UConn’s frontcourt of Amida Brimah, Kentan Facey and Steven Enoch combined for only four points and nine rebounds. The Huskies typically dismantle non-conference foes, winning all eight games last season, and are 82-8 in such contests at Gampel Pavilion.
currently has the Huskies listed as 13-point favorites versus the Huskies, while the game’s total is sitting at 135½.
Despite solid debuts by freshman Alterique Gilbert and transfer Terry Larrier, No. 16 Connecticut was stunned by Wagner in its season opener Friday night. UConn, which hadn’t lost an opener since 1999, looks to rebound when it hosts Northeastern on Monday night.
Larrier, a sophomore from VCU, led UConn with 19 points and seven rebounds while Gilbert, a highly touted freshman, finished with 14 points but the rest of the Huskies did not respond. To make matters worse, UConn erased a double-digit Wagner lead in the second half when the Seahawks top scorer, Romone Saunders, left the game with a leg injury but Wagner was still able to regroup and pulled away. “Tonight, we were able to pull off probably one of the greatest victories in our school history,” Wagner coach Bashir Mason said. Northeastern got a career-high 30 points from guard T.J. Williams and 20 from Florida transfer Alex Murphy to knock off city rival Boston University 87-77 in its opener.
Connecticut lost its last outing, a 67-58 result against Seahawks on November 11.
Northeastern was a 87-77 winner in its last match at home against Terriers.
