Northwestern squandered another fourth quarter lead and lost in agonizing fashion to Rutgers.
These are the times that try Northwestern fans' souls. With 11 seconds remaining in a tie game against Rutgers Northwestern had the ball. Overtime appeared to be the worst thing that could have happened until Nia Coffey had her shot blocked. Kahleah Cooper of Rutgers picked up the loose ball and threw a full court outlet pass to Tyler Scaife, who hit a layup with 1.9 seconds remaining. Northwestern's half-court prayer wasn't answered and the Wildcats lost 61-59 in devastating fashion, dropping to a disastrous 3-10 in Big Ten play.
