Bryant McIntosh's heroics carry Northwestern to 70-65 victory over Wisconsin

The sophomore scored 28 points to give Northwestern its second consecutive Big Ten win.

EVANSTON — With 3:17 to go, Northwestern (15-3, 3-2 Big Ten) found itself in an increasingly familiar position. The scoreboard read 59-53 in the Wildcat's favor in a pivotal conference game.

Perhaps last year Northwestern would find a way to lose a close battle like this. Maybe it would be turnovers caused by a full-court press, one too many defensive breakdowns, or a downright spectacular, clutch shot by an opponent.

Bryant McIntosh had absolutely no interest in letting that happen Tuesday against Wisconsin (9-9, 1-4).
