.@GoNUmbasketball guard Xavier Abreu (@xavierabreu__) enters the transfer portal. He was one of the few bright spots for NU in a lost season this year. Wishing him the best of luck at his next school

[Sam Kayser @KayserHoops]

NEWS: Northeastern guard Xavier Abreu plans to enter the transfer portal, his agent @GermanSrulovich of @WEAVE told @LeagueRDY.

The 6-foot-3 freshman spent just one season at Northeastern and was named to All-CAA Rookie Team this season.

He averaged 12.6PPG, 2.7RPG and 1.0APG in 2025-26.

[Northeastern Basketball Central @NUBallCentral]

It’s been a tough month for NU, great to see them pull out a win through extreme injury adversity!

Kermoury (@william5262672) and Abreu (@xavierabreu__) combined for 55 points on over 50% shooting and NU grabbed 14 steals to earn their second conference win of the year

[Northeastern Men’s Basketball @GoNUmbasketball]

That's a hard fought Northeastern VICTORY!

[Northeastern Basketball Central @NUBallCentral]

.@GoNUmbasketball starts 1-0 in Cabot in their last home tune-up before conference play, despite some key absences!

@william5262672 leads with 6-12 from three for 18 points

What a win for @GoNUmbasketball over Duquesne at LeBron’s HS!

MASSIVE Breakout game for @xavierabreu__ (32 points, 5 reb, 2 ast, 4 stocks)

13 points & a clutch three at the end for @william5262672

And a breakout double-double for Haris Elezovic

NU improves to 3-3 on the year

[Northeastern Basketball Central @NUBallCentral]

Two @GoNUmbasketball games in person in one week? Welcome back 2023

Hoping for a bounceback win at Jadwin Gymnasium in Princeton NJ!

[Northeastern Basketball Central @NUBallCentral]

A shame that the Huskies couldn’t send off Matthews with a win, but nonetheless enjoyed seeing the old barn one last time. Hoping for a bounceback this week at Princeton

And wishing the best to @lapratt4 in his recovery from a season-ending foot injury. A big hole to fill for NU

[Northeastern Basketball Central @NUBallCentral]

Looking forward to sending Matthews out with a W

[Northeastern Basketball Central @NUBallCentral]

A massive win for @GoNUmbasketball! Doninant game from @x_alarie (23 point double-double, 9-13 shooting, 3 steals), another double-double for Youri Fritz, and 4-7 from 3 for @JBFRANK3L off the bench.

Praying for the best for @lapratt4, who left on crutches 🙏

[Northeastern Basketball Central @NUBallCentral]

I’ll be in the crowd at the @GoNUmbasketball game this Sat 11/15 for the final basketball game at Matthews Arena!

I’ll also be at the NU hockey game that night + the MBB game @ Princeton on 11/20

Come say hi if you wanna talk Huskies- I’m the guy in the NU Reggie Lewis jersey

[Northeastern Basketball Central @NUBallCentral]

Gritty comeback win for @GoNUmbasketball! A 21 point game for Youri Fritz, a double-double for @x_alarie, and a clutch late-game performance from @xavierabreu__ gets the Huskies their first W of the year at Colgate.

And congratulations to @GoNUCoachCoen on career win number 300!

[Northeastern Basketball Central @NUBallCentral]
