William & Mary (10-5, 2-0) at Northeastern (9-6, 3-0) – 4:00 PM EST (FloHoops)
Today’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to Boston for a Colonial matchup between the Tribe of William & Mary and the Northeastern Huskies. Bill & Mary didn’t look they were playing their best basketball going into conference play – they had a pair of road losses at Saint Joseph’s and at St. Francis-PA prior to Christmas Break. But they opened conference play with a one-point win at Elon and blasted Hofstra by 25 points on the road in their last game. Nathan Knight averages close to a spectacular double-double; 19.9 points a game and 9.8 rebounds a game!
Northeastern comes into today’s game with an overall four-game winning streak. After a noncon tuneup victory against Detroit, they beat both Towson and James Madison on the road before a 9-point victory against Elon in their conference home opener. Prior to that, the Huskies had been up and down – they won both their BeanPot games against BU and Harvard before struggling to a seventh place finish in the Gulf Showcase (losses to South Alabama and Drake and a win against Weber State). Jordan Roland averages over 22 points a game overall for the Huskies, but Tyson Walker has also averaged 21 points a game in conference play.
