they brought a lot of young guys too. >> i think under the jim calhoon years, they had some great years. i think the job that bill coen is doing is phenomenal. it's a lost similarities. he's a great guy as you probably know. he works as hard as anybody i know. >> mike: a great upgrade to matthews arena. i know you've been a part of that. after your playing days, it must be nice to see that too. >> it's great. they have fabulous facilities. everything about the university has improved so much in the last 30 years. i played here 30 years ago, so it's a lng time. >> mike: we need to see a few things and come back 30 years later and have the exact same thing? >> that's right. >> mike: doing real estate and coaching basketball, correct? >> i do. i help coach a girls' hoag high school tai.s been fun. it helped me get back in the game. i've been doing it about a dozen year now. i endiswroi a lot. >> mike: dave, thank you so much for joining us.

association likes to note the award. the athletic directors contribution to intercollegiate athletics and recognize the men's and women's student athletes who provide the highest standards of leadership and integrity and sportsmanship in con junction with their academic achievement. tonight, manny adako a-senior from decatur, georgia. representing george mason university, cam long a junior majoring in sports management. both players have been key contributors tonight and this season as we have seen here throughout this game. 12-point lead for the huskies. how they get to that point? mark tillmon, we go to the highlights. >> mark: he's had two knockdown threes and very efficient in the post area. i think they need to give him the ball a little bit more as coach mentioned. the guards and others have to contribute and help ryan

pearson out. i don't think he should settle for the long distance shot. northeastern, they're blistering tonight. they're shooting 60% from the three-point arc, 6-10 and they're shooting 52% from the field. mason is going to have to push these guys off the line, put pressure on the ball to make it a better contest. >> mike: mark, you saw it right there. chaisson allen with four three- pointers. matt janning with two. we'll come whack and -- back and show you the stats of this one here at the half. huskies lead by 12 over the patriots
