DEE-FENCE

The Huskies Insider listened in on a Huntington News interview with the men's basketball team's three captains (Manny Adako, Baptiste Bataille and Matt Janning), and the consensus of the three was that the key to NU's success this season is defense. Last season, that was certainly true as the Huskies were 11-0 when holding opponents under 40 percent shooting.

The Huskies will be having an intrasquad, red vs. black scrimmage Thursday night at Solomon Court at 7 p.m. It will be an opportunity to take a sneak peek at the team that will open its season at Siena next Tuesday.
