RECORD BREAKING VICTORY
• The Huskies' 90-54 victory over Delaware (Jan. 5) broke a Northeastern record in a big way
• NU destroyed its three-point record (17) set last year against Hofstra in a triple overtime game on Jan. 21, 2016 with 21 treys in 40 minutes against the Blue Hens
• The Huskies had 14 threes in the first half alone en route to a 58-18 halftime lead
• The 58 points were the most in a half this season, the most in the Bill Coen era, and the most in a half against a Division-I opponent since putting up 58 in the second half of a 90-76 win over Delaware on Jan. 16, 2000 game at Matthews Arena
• The 36-point victory was the biggest of the Bill Coen era, besting a 34-point, 79-45 win over Drexel on Jan. 9, 2008 and was the largest win ever over Delaware as Northeastern has beaten the Blue Hens by at least 30-points in consecutive seasons
• The win was also the largest win since a 105-57 victory over Lasell on Nov. 22, 2005 and the biggest over a Division-I opponent since a 96-58 victory over Boston University on March 2, 1993.
• The 40-point halftime lead is also likely a school record for the Huskies as no box score dating back to the 1978 season showed a larger halftime lead
• The 29 assists tonight by the Huskies were the most since notching 31 assists on Dec. 4, 1993 against George Mason
