Dynamic offense, lockdown individual defense propel ‘Cats to impressive win

Northwestern’s offense has been bipolar this season, sometimes looking like an offense that can compete with the rest of Big Ten while also occasionally looking like a team that momentarily forgot how to pass and shoot.

Following a disappointing loss in Fort Myers against Pitt, headlined by their abysmal 36.5% shooting from the field, the ‘Cats (4-3) bounced back in a big way against a struggling Eagles team (4-5) in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

Northwestern put up a season-high 82 points, thanks to an extremely efficient shooting night in addition to superb ball movement. The ‘Cats shot 32-55 from the floor on the whole, going 9-20 from beyond the arc and dishing out a season-high 18 assists along the way.
