BOSTON – In a battle of the Colonial Athletic Association unbeatens, the Northeastern men's basketball team took down James Madison 64-54 Saturday night in front of 1,354 fans that braved the snowy weather to see the win.
 
The Huskies extended their win streak to seven games with the victory (11-5) and improved to 4-0 to start conference action for the first time since the 2012-13 season and just the second time since joining the CAA.
 
The Huskies have now won 20-straight games when holding their opponent to under 60 points dating back to February 15, 2014. Northeastern is 81-20 all-time under Bill Coen when keeping their opponents under 60 points (.802).
 
T.J. Williams paced the Huskies with 21 points on the night, his tenth 20-point effort of the season, while adding seven rebounds and five assists. Alex Murphy tacked on 15 points, all coming in the first half, while Maxime Boursiquot finished with six points and six rebounds, including three big offensive boards.
 
Yohanny Dalembert led the way for James Madison (5-12, 3-1) with 16 points while Joey McLean added 12 and Jackson Kent had 11.
 
After connecting on 21 threes against Delaware, the Huskies hit for nine, while holding JMU to just two, both coming in the first half. The Dukes also had 19 turnovers on the night, the most of any Husky opponent this season.
 
The Huskies started off from deep as Alex Murphy connected on a three from the corner to begin things just how Northeastern left them on Thursday night. Murphy added a put back to give Northeastern a quick 5-0 lead and after James Madison got on the board, Anthony Green stifled the Dukes with a monster slam to give the Huskies a 7-2 lead.
 
Coming out of the media timeout, however, James Madison went on a 9-0 run, while Northeastern missed eight straight shots before Murphy silenced the Dukes with a trey to even the score at 13-all.
 
Both teams exchanged layups before T.J. Williams laid one of his own in to begin a 10-2 run to help the Huskies gain a substantial halftime advantage, 30-23.
 
In the second half, the Huskies began things with a highlight reel alley oop from Devon Begley to Anthony Green and later extended its lead to as much as 14 capped by a trey from Begley, who finished with five points and three assists. Green's six points came via two huge dunks and a pair of free throws, while he added three offensive boards.
 
Northeastern will look to keep this momentum going when the Huskies round out their homestand Thursday, January 12 with a 7 p.m. game against Drexel at Matthews Arena.
