The Wildcats (6-12, 0-8 B1G) entered the matchup against their third top 12 opponent in four games. The Buckeyes (19-0, 8-0 B1G) came ready to take on the ‘Cats again after a 33-point win in late December. The story remained the same in their second matchup, as turnovers and struggles from the field plagued Northwestern, which fell to Ohio State 84-54.
Paige Mott and Caroline Lau both scored career-highs. The sophomore forward led the team with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting, while the first-year guard followed with 13 points and a team-high five rebounds.
