College Hoops

As the college basketball season winds down, all eyes turn towards the madness of March and the anticipation of the upcoming tournaments. While the NCAA Tournament garners most of the attention, the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) is a prestigious event in its own right, showcasing some of the best teams that narrowly missed out on the Big Dance. This year’s NIT field promises to be a thrilling spectacle, with powerhouse programs like Seton Hall, Indiana State, Villanova, and Wake Forest leading the charge.

The Northeastern Huskies are eyeing an opening round win in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) women’s basketball tournament as they take on the struggling UNC Wilmington Seahawks on Wednesday. Northeastern enters the postseason tilt as favorites according to computer predictions, which project a 67-58 victory for the Huskies at the St. Elizabeths East Entertainment and Sports Arena in Washington D.C. The Huskies are riding some momentum after knocking off Hampton 64-60 in their regular season finale on Sunday.
