Northeastern plays the Hampton Pirates after Rashad King scored 28 points in Northeastern's 77-68 victory over the Hofstra Pride.
The inside/outside combination enabled the Lions (16-6) to advance to the regional playoffs beginning Thursday.
The Cougars (17-7) likely clinched the No. 1 seed in Region 3-3A, meaning they will have home-court advantage in all three playoff rounds.
