ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Déjà vu all over again.
Once again, Northwestern (9-9, 2-7 B1G) held a late lead against a Big Ten foe, this time at Michigan (10-7, 4-3 B1G). Once again, the Wildcats failed to pull out the victory, falling 72-70 at the Crisler Center.
The scoring was fairly balanced for the Wildcats, with five players in double-digits points-wise. Pete Nance accounted for 14 points while leading the ‘Cats on the boards with six rebounds and in assists with four, while Boo Buie hit a number of would’ve-been clutch threes en route to a 13 point performance in the ill-fated affair for his team.
