ROSEMONT, Ill. -- Bryant McIntosh scored 10 of his 17 points in the second half, and No. 20 Northwestern held off Saint Peter's for a 75-66 victory on Monday night.
The Wildcats placed each of their starters in double figures in their second straight lackluster win to begin the season. Dererk Pardon scored 15 points, Gavin Skelly finished with 14 and Scottie Lindsey had 12 points and six assists.
Northwestern (2-0) made the NCAA Tournament last season for the first time in school history. The Wildcats returned four starters, but they are still looking for a complete effort through two games.
