The 23-10 Northeastern Huskies are coached by Bill Coen, who is in his 12th year at the helm. The Huskies finished second in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) regular season standings but won the conference tournament over a talented Hofstra team.
They have won seven games in a row and are considered one of the hottest mid-major teams in the tournament field.
Northeastern plays a four-guard lineup, where they spread the floor and look to shoot every possible three-point shot they can. Very similar to Iowa State.
They have shooters all over the floor.
