BOSTON – The Northeastern men's basketball team (11-10, 3-5) received a game-high 22 points from LA Pratt, but Towson (12-9, 7-1) got 21 points from Dylan Williamson and shot 58% from three-point range en route to a 75-65 win over the Huskies on Monday night at Matthews Arena.
 
Trailing by 11 at halftime, Northeastern trimmed the deficit to as little as five points with 14 minutes to play before an 11-2 Towson run over less than four minutes midway through the half put the game out of reach. The Tigers shot 29-of-54 (54%) in the game and 11-of-19 from long range, putting three players in double figures and turning 17 Northeastern turnovers into 23 points.
 
Pratt was one of two Huskies in double figures, joined by Harold Woods' 16 points and five rebounds as Northeastern finished 23-of-56 overall and 6-of-19 from deep.
 
Towson shot 55% from the floor and 58% from deep in the first half, led by 14 points from Williamson to take a 41-29 lead into halftime. The Tigers never trailed in the half, and used a 12-2 run over the final 2:54 to take the double digit lead.
 
Northeastern, meanwhile, got 12 points from Pratt on 5-of-10 from the floor for a Huskies squad that shot 42% overall.
 
The Huskies came out of the break hot, hitting four of their first seven shots and going on a 9-0 run to trim the gap to five four minutes into the second half, prompting an early Towson timeout.
 
That's as close as Northeastern would get, though, as the teams went back and forth over the next eight minutes before the 11-2 Tigers run put the visitors up for good with 4:44 to go, 66-51. 
 
The Huskies will head back on the road for three straight games, beginning on Thursday at Hampton. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. on FloCollege.
