The Northeastern Huskies out of the CAA will meet UMass for the third straight year in non-conference play. On the young season, the Huskies have yet to lose at home. Furthermore, they edged the Minutemen 78-75 last season on their home floor. Take Northeastern to win in this Massachusetts in-state clash.

Northeastern is 3-0 in true home games this season, while UMass has played just one true road game and lost in blowout fashion at Yale. UMass has rallied back from down double digits to win in four games this season but that it was down double digits is obviously concerning. The Minutemen are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 road games. Since the 2014-15 season, the Huskies are 22-4 in non-conference home games. Led by transfer Chris Doherty, Northeastern has outrebounded its opponent in six of its nine games this season, including four of the last five. The Huskies are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite.
