Northeastern won on one of the wildest buzzer-beaters of the season

Want to know the fastest way to quiet a crowd?

Northeastern was locked in a tight battle with College of Charleston coming down the stretch. Charleston was up 16 points at the half before the Huskies started battling back.

Guard Joe Chealey paced the Cougars, scoring 28 points on 8-of-14 shooting, knocking in 3-of-7 from downtown. He dropped 14 points in the first half to help Charleston get out to the lead, but Northeastern found a way to make it a game.

The Huskies shot 47.6 percent from three-point land, shooting 10-of-21. Each of the starters contributed on the offensive end, scoring at least nine points a piece, with the high-point man being forward Alex Murphy with 19 points to go with eight rebounds.

Side note: neither one of these teams has heard of the concept of bench scoring. Both teams combined for a game-changing five points, all from Charleston’s bench. Think I’m joking?

There were only three shots even attempted from Northeastern’s bench, and it doesn’t get much better for Charleston. It takes two players to get the only five bench points of the game.

Here’s another look at the game-winning shot. The play starts with TJ Williams missing a jump shot, but Bolden Brace comes in and saves the night. The crowd goes hush.
