Northwestern (6-2, 0-1 B1G) dropped its conference opener to Indiana (6-2, 1-0) on a last-minute Romeo Langford floater. Here are four takeaways from Saturday’s game.
Langford’s game-winner, and late-game execution
A Justin Smith free throw tied the game with 2:06 left, preceding three possessions of scoreless basketball. After a missed Ryan Taylor three with 1:08 to go, Langford got a step on Vic Law and converted a floater over Dererk Pardon to give IU the lead with 39 seconds left.
“He’s a terrific scorer, a terrific player,” Chris Collins said after the game.
