BOSTON – The Northeastern men's basketball team is back in Boston for its final non-conference home game as the Huskies host Central Connecticut State on Sunday. Tip-off from the Cabot Center is set for 1 p.m. on FloCollege.
 
THREE THINGS TO KNOW
 
1. SERIES HISTORY VS. CENTRAL CONNECTICUT
Northeastern and Central Connecticut will be meeting for the 15th time with the Huskies leading the series, 12-2. Northeastern has won each of the last five meetings, including an 80-62 win last season in Moncton, New Brunswick.
 
In that game, Northeastern shot 53% as a team and used runs of 14-2 and 15-0 to turn a two-point deficit early into a 22-point halftime lead. William Kermoury had 13 points for the Huskies.
 
2. GRAND THEFT
Luca Soroa Schaller leads the team in both assists (23) and steals (14) and is second in the CAA averaging 2.0 steals per game. As a team, the Huskies have recorded double-digit steals in three games this season, including a season-high 12 against Duquesne on Nov. 22.
 
3. LOUGH'D IN
Junior guard Mike Loughnane was a bright spot for the Huskies on Wednesday at Holy Cross, tying a career-high with 15 points on 6-of-12 shooting off the bench along with four rebounds and a team-high four assists.
 
Loughnane joined the Huskies as a transfer from Davidson, and was a three-time captain and is the all-time leading scorer at Boston College High School. His father, Bill, played at Northeastern from 1976-80, and is the program's record holder in single-game assists (15 vs. Delaware on Dec. 29, 1977), and third in team history with 500 assists in 100 games.
