FIRST HALF
The Huskies got on the board first, tallying the first four points of the game via a Green offensive board and putback and a pair of Pusica free throws, but as soon as the Huskies got ahead, the Bonnies tied it up.
 
Green added back-to-back dunks to make it an 8-7 game, and despite Adams heading to the bench with two fouls in the first five minutes picked up while guarding Pusica, St. Bonaventure took an early 17-11 lead thanks to a pair of deep threes from Mobley.
 
The Huskies responded once again with threes from Begley and Brace that evened the score at 21-all.
 
Another St. Bonaventure lead was cut to just one-point after a Green tip-in, to make it a 29-28 game, but the Bonnies went out on an 8-0 run, utilizing six free throws to garner a 37-29 advantage before a Begley trey ended the run.
 
Mobley responded with yet another three, en route to his 19 first half points playing in all 20 minutes of action while he added three rebounds while going 4-for-7 from deep.
 
The teams traded baskets as the clock wound down on a foul-filled first half that saw the Bonnies on top 44-35.
 
SECOND HALF
St. Bonaventure started off the second half on a 10-1 run before Begley floated a runner as the shot clock expired for Northeastern's first basket of the second half, five minutes in.
 
The Bonnies run extended to 18-3 following an Adams three forcing Coen to call a timeout with 13:28 remaining. After the timeout, Myles Franklin checked in and promptly drew a foul, getting to the line and jumpstarting a Husky scoring spurt.
 
After scoring just four points through the first eight minutes of action, the Huskies tallied nine in the next four-minute stretch and ultimately outscored the Bonnies 17-15 through the remainder of the game. But it wasn't enough as St. Bonaventure came away with the 84-65 win.
 
The 84 points were the most Northeastern gave up this season, while the 19-point victory was the second-largest over the Huskies this year.
