RICHMOND, Va. (AP) Northeastern coach Bill Coen won't soon forget the first time his team reached the championship game of the Colonial Athletic Association tournament. And the memory won't be at all pleasant.

One day after his team fell behind by 24 points and staged the biggest comeback in school history, the Huskies trailed by 22 and fell short of duplicating the comeback, losing 70-57 to James Madison on Monday night at Richmond Coliseum.

"They had the urgency of seniors. They knew what time it was tonight," Coen said of the Dukes, whose six seniors played big roles in an early 23-1 run that changed the complexion of the game right away. "A.J. Davis and (Rayshawn) Goins played a terrific basketball game."
