PHILADELPHIA – As usual in the Daskalakis Athletic Center the game came down to the final seconds, but this time Drexel was able to come away with a 68-67 win, their first over the Northeastern men's basketball team since the 2014-15 season.
 
Vasa Pusica finished with 20 points and seven assists, Tomas Murphy added 16 and six rebounds and Shawn Occeus finished with seven and a career-high tying five steals but it wasn't enough as the team was held scoreless in the final 1:52 of the game, while Drexel was able to creep back in and win.
 
The game winning free throw was made with 1.6 seconds left. Bolden Brace went for a rebound of a Tramaine Isabell free throw miss, ultimately getting tied up with Isabell (21 points, seven rebounds, four assists) on a 50-50 play where the Husky sophomore was called for the foul. Isabell made 1-of-2 free throws in three-straight trips to the line as he helped Drexel to the win.
 
After an errant buzzer call following Isabell's miss, the Huskies had .7 seconds to try and win it. Brace sent a pass right to Pusica, who threw up a three with Isabell all over him, but it didn't connect.
 
In the first half, the Huskies used three-straight and-one opportunities, including back-to-back buckets by Murphy to go on a 9-0 run in the middle of the first half and take a 27-20 lead, the greatest separation between the two teams in the first half.
 
Following the Husky run, Drexel went on an 8-0 run of its own. Northeastern was 0-for-6 from the field with four turnovers in a five-and-half minute stretch, before Pusica ended the drought with yet another and-one.
 
The Huskies had control the majority of the second half, earning as much as a seven-point lead following an Occeus and-one. But the Dragons were able to get back in the game as they improved their record to 7-3 at home this season.
