In what was possibly the penultimate home game of his college career, Pete Nance reaped the rewards of a career’s worth of work.
“You put in a lot of hours in that gym,” he said, referring to Welsh-Ryan Arena. “It’s great to see it pay off on a night like tonight.”
Pay off it did, as Nance cashed in from the field, finishing with 20 points on 8-for-11 shooting, as well as five rebounds and five assists. The senior captain’s performance in Northwestern’s 77-65 win over Nebraska highlighted some of his greatest improvements he’s made as a player over the course of his four years in Evanston.
