EVANSTON — At least this one was fun to watch.
Northwestern (12-15, 3-13) fell 69-64 to Wisconsin (19-8, 11-5) at home, pushing the Wildcats’ losing streak to eight. On a night when Welsh-Ryan Arena was as loud as it’s been all season and Northwestern held the lead in the game’s final minutes, the Wildcats couldn’t get the necessary stops to earn a win over the No. 22 team in the country.
Vic Law and Dererk Pardon, whose faces were printed on t-shirts handed out to students at the game, scored 25 of Northwestern’s 64 points (24 and 21, respectively), but no other Wildcats scored in double-figures.
