Don't get me wrong, Boston is a great city but those two days in Florida went by way, way too fast. Now its back to the snow and cold. Oh well. I'm just glad I was able to make it back and wasn't snowed in someplace.
Men's basketball wrapped up it season with a loss to ODU on Senior Day. NU is the third seed in the CAA tournament and will face either Drexel or Towson Saturday at 8:30 p.m.
Men's Hockey swept Lowell this weekend, keeping their one point edge over BU in the Hockey East standings.
Baseball swept a doubleheader today for its first two wins of the '09 season, including winning on a walk-off walk in the final game.
Women's basketball lost at VCU. They'll end their season with senior night at Solomon Court Wednesday night.

Odds and ends
Between the Beanpot and the success of the basketball team, the Huskies have been getting some good publicity.
Here's a link to two Globe articles, one following around basketball coach Bill Coen and another on goalie Brad Thiessen.
Steve Buckley of the Herald also writes a nice piece on Northeastern's increased exposure.
Quick recap of some news in Husky sports this week:
-Football coach Rocky Hager announced the signing of 12 recruits, including twins from Brookline. Full story here.
-Hager also announced some staff changes. Read about it here.
BracketBusters pairings were announced last week and Northeastern drew Wright State. Needless to say, the pairing was a bit of surprise and raised some questions among Husky fans. Read what Tom Giles of WRBB has to say about it.
I'll be live blogging tomorrow from the Garden during what should be an exciting game between the Terriers and Huskies. Feel free to leave any suggestions or comments about last week's blog.

Looking back.... and looking ahead.
I was browsing through GoNU.com today and found this. It's basketball manager Matthew Holt's blog of the team's Canadian tour this summer. Fast forward to the present and the team is currently one game in to what could be the most crucial stretch of the season. The Huskies play at Old Dominion tonight at seven. NU squeaked by George Mason at Matthews Wednesday night to move into a three-way tie for first in the CAA with VCU and Mason. Those two teams are set to square off in about three minutes at VCU. Should the Huskies lose, the winner of that game will find themselves all alone at the top of the CAA. If the Huskies win, it will be down to a two-team tie for top spot.
-Tonight the men's hockey team takes on Providence at Matthews. NU knocked off the Friars 3-1 last night in Providence. For a true inside look at the hockey team, be sure to check out goalie Brad Thiessen's blog here.
It's nearing the end of January and the Beanpot is right around the corner. Beanpot Media day is this Tuesday at the Garden and I'll be sure to post my thoughts from that. The games are the following two Mondays. And coming up soon is the baseball team's annual trip to Florida next month.... I will be making my first trip down this year and I'm pretty excited. Right after that is the CAA basketball tourney in Richmond. I should be making first trip down there as well. With all these exciting events both now and coming up, it truly is a great time to cover NU sports.

A few notes...
I haven't posted in a few days, but here's a few notes on Husky sports.
Nice story about the hockey team on ESPN.com here. Thanks to Keith Lavon for pointing this out.
The men's basketball team had a nice win last night over undefeated George Mason, placing two teams in a tie for first place in the CAA along with VCU. Here's a link to the game story in today's Huntington News. I caught the first half, but unfortunately had to duck out in order to get back to production night at the paper.
The Huskies held off a late Mason charge, but the game was in the back of many people's minds after Patriot guard John Vaughan went down with what is now known to be a concussion. It was a scary moment at the game, as played stopped for almost 25 minutes after Vaughan passed out on the court. He was carried off the court on a stretcher. Here's an update from the Washington Post.
I'm hoping to get an RSS feed set up to get the latest news from Northeastern sports, but until this, these links will have to do.
