Vic Law and Scottie Lindsey came into Northwestern’s game versus IUPUI having each scored 164 points in 11 games, good for 14.9 per game respectively and over two more points than the team’s third-leading scorer, Bryant McIntosh.
On Tuesday night, less than 72 hours after an exhausted Northwestern team limped to the finish in a win over Dayton, that duo combined for just 14. Hypothetically, that should have spelled trouble. In actuality, it didn’t come close, as Northwestern got 46 points — more than half of the team total — off its bench en route to an easy 87-65 win over IUPUI.
