EVANSTON — Double digits!
After losing 81-76 to Illinois (11-18, 7-11 Big Ten), Northwestern (12-17, 3-15) has lost 10 straight games for the second time of the Chris Collins era (2014-2015 was the first). Northwestern had a balanced scoring effort offensively, but there just wasn’t enough production, particularly in the first half when the Wildcats scored just 27 points.
Andres Feliz led the Illini with 22 points on 12-of-13 shooting from the free throw line, and three other players scored in double-figures in the game.
On par with their recent shooting performances, the Wildcats shot 40 percent from the field and 26 percent from beyond the arc.
