"Playing with Drew has been great," Prasse-Freeman said. "We're both quick and handle the ball well, so when we're both on the court, it's like we have two point guards on the floor."

Filling in for Clemente was freshman forward Sam Winter, who turned in his best performance of the year by tallying 12 points and eight rebounds against Dartmouth.

Leading the Huskies this season has been junior Marcus Blossom. After scoring only four points against UNC-Greensboro on Nov. 27, Blossom has been on a scoring rampage, averaging 20.7 points per game in the Huskies' last three contests.

The Huskies' only win this year occurred against UNH, when Blossom contributed a season-high 23 points and five assists.

Bolstering a weak Northeastern frontcourt is freshman standout Toby Brittian, who took over sophomore Jean Bain's starting spot in mid-season. The move has proved beneficial for both players. Brittian, who had been averaging 1.8 points and 0.5 rebounds coming off the bench, has averaged 14.5 points per game since taking over the starting position.

Bain has also blossomed in his new role as the team's sixth man, averaging 9.0 points per game and shooting 50 percent from beyond the three-point arc.

Center George Aygar, a native of Turkey, will face off against Coleman in the battle of the boards. He is second on the team in scoring (10.5) and rebounding (4.7), and he leads the team in total blocks this season with 10.
