BOSTON – The Northeastern men's basketball team will look to move to 2-0 in CAA play for the fifth time since 2016 when the Huskies host Stony Brook on Saturday at Matthews Arena (12pm). The game will be televised nationally on CBS Sports Network.
 
THREE THINGS TO KNOW

1. THE SERIES WITH STONY BROOK -- The Huskies and Seawolves are meeting for the 14th time in series history. Northeastern holds a 7-6 advantage in the series as the two former America East foes prepare to meet for the first time since 2016.
 
2. GETTING HOT - The Huskies have wins in four of their last five games, and had their three best shooting performances to date in the last three games. On Dec. 18 at UIC, NU opened the game 9-of-9 from the floor before finishing 47% overall (27-of-58), and followed it up with a 28-of-59 (47.5%) afternoon at Davidson on Dec. 21.
 
Northeastern then went 27-of-53 (51%) overall vs. NC A&T on Thursday to finish with 88 points, the team's highest scoring night since Dec. 30, 2019.
 
3. SHOULDERING THE LOAD -- Jahmyl Telfort has put the Huskies on his back this season, eclipsing the 20-point plateau six times including in each of the past three games. Telfort has reached double-figures in all but one game, including a career-high 31 points on Dec. 29 vs. NC A&T, one of 73 players in team history to score at least 31 points in a game.
 
He is currently third in the CAA in field goal perc. (50%) and fourth in ppg (17.2).
