Northeastern was once again victimized by three-pointers, allowing 10 to Western Michigan in a 75-60 loss to the Broncos in the consolation bracket of the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic Wednesday at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu.

Northeastern allowed 10 three-pointers in a loss to St. Mary's and now has given up 30 over the last three games. The Huskies will play SMU Friday at 2 p.m., Eastern, 9 a.m., Hawaiian.

After not making a three-pointer yesterday against St. Mary's, the Huskies drained one on the game's first possession as Matt Janning connected from long distance. However, it was Western Michigan that rained threes in the first half, going 7-for-10 from downtown. The Huskies were up 9-8, but the Broncos went on a 7-0 run to take the lead.

Baptiste Bataille cut WMU's lead to four, 18-14, with a three-pointer at 11:30, but the Broncos kept pouring in the triples. They went on an 11-2 run, capped by a triple by David Kool at 7:07.

In a three-minute sequence, the teams kept trading three-pointers. Mathiang Muo nailed one 5:56, but Demetrius Ward immediately answered with one at 5:43. Muo came right back with a three on a kickout pass from Chaisson Allen at 5:07. Ward then hit one at 3:48 that was answered by Allen at 3:17. However, Alex Wolf came right back down and drilled a three at 3:04. At that point, the Broncos led 43-27.

Western Michigan went into halftime up 44-28, having hit 7-of-10 three-point attempts.

In the second half, the Huskies showed a glimmer of hope when Allen drained back-to-back threes to cut Western Michigan's lead to 13, 57-44, with 11:50 left, but the Broncos proved to be too much for the Huskies as they went on a 10-2 run to build up a 21-point lead.

Allen did his best to keep the Huskies in the game, scoring 11 second-half points. He led NU with 16 points. Janning had 13 points, but was only 4-for-15 from the field, 1-for-7 from behind the arc. Northeastern as a team shot only 32.8 percent from the field, 34.6 percent from downtown. Free throws again were a problem as the Huskies were just 13-for-22 (59.1 percent) from the charity stripe.

Wolf led the Broncos with 15 points on a perfect 4-for-4 from three. Kool added 13 points, and Donald Lawson posted a double-double (11 points, 10 rebounds).
