GREENSBORO, N.C. – Landon Glasper went for 35 points and North Carolina A&T (5-13, 3-2) used a 17-2 run midway through the second half to down the Northeastern men's basketball team (7-11, 2-3) on Thursday night at Corbett Sports Center, 72-65.
 
Glasper did most of his damage in the second half, dropping 24 in the final 20 minutes to finish 8-of-17 from the floor and a perfect 15-of-15 from the free throw line to help the Aggies lead by as many as 11 in a game that saw 13 ties and five lead changes before the big run.
 
Chris Doherty led Northeastern with a season-high 23 points on 10-of-18 from the floor, three shy of a career-high and the fourth time this season that Doherty has gone for 20+ in a game. He led four Huskies in double figures, joined by Rashad King (11), Masai Troutman (10) and Harold Woods (10).
 
Northeastern shot 44% as a team and just 2-of-18 from deep, outscoring A&T 42-22 in the paint, while North Carolina A&T went 19-of-44 from the floor and 29-of-32 from the line.
 
It was a sluggish start to the night as the teams combined to shoot 35% in the first half before going into the locker room level at 26, with neither team leading by more than five points.
 
Doherty got it going for Northeastern as the half wore on, finishing with the Huskies' final nine points of the half to bring his total to 13 at recess on 6-of-9 from the floor for an NU squad that shot 12-of-31 overall and 1-of-10 from deep, with the one make coming from Doherty.
 
Glasper was the story for A&T, going for 11 on 3-of-9 from the floor as the Aggies shot 33% as a team (8-of-24) but stayed in it thanks to a 9-of-11 start from the stripe.
 
It was a battle through most of the second half, as Luka Sakota got it going with five quick points to help the Huskies go up by as many as eight with 14:48 to play, 42-34. 
 
A 12-2 A&T run from there, though, over 2:38 quickly erased the lead and brought it back within a possession before the big run over five minutes gave the Aggies a lead they would not relinquish.
 
The Huskies will close out the weekend at Elon on Saturday night at 7 p.m. on FloHoops.
