EVANSTON, Ill. — Northwestern (8-2) committed a gruesome and cruel murder over the course of two hours on Monday night at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
It was just about what everyone expected, as the Wildcats dominated Division II opponent Illinois-Springfield (4-7) from start to finish, winning 90-50. Pete Nance led the way for Northwestern, finishing with 15 points and eight rebounds. Boo Buie and Ty Berry followed him up with 11 points each. Berry shot 3-for-6 from beyond the arc.
Even though this game came against a Division II opponent, there were no changes to Northwestern’s starting five, with Buie, Chase Audige, Berry, Robbie Beran and Nance all taking the court to begin.
