West Virginia schedules game with Northeastern

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The West Virginia men’s basketball team will face Northeastern at 2 p.m. Tuesday at the WVU Coliseum.

West Virginia had an opening on its schedule after Buffalo was unable to play due to COVID-19 protocols within the Bulls’ program.

The game will air on Big 12 Now on ESPN+, while the radio broadcast will be available on the Mountaineer Sports Network from Learfield IMG College.

Northeastern is 1-4 this season following a 76-58 loss at Georgia. The Huskies have a win over Massachusetts, 78-75, on Dec. 13. Last season, Northeastern recorded 17 wins and lost in the championship game of the Colonial Athletic Association tournament to Hofstra.

The two teams have met once in 2003. Current WVU assistant coach Ron Everhart led his Northeastern squad to a 91-84 victory over the Mountaineers at the Coliseum.
