Another ranked opponent, another blowout loss for the Wildcats.
Northwestern (3-2, 0-0 B1G) was demolished by No. 13 Florida State (5-0, 0-0 ACC) 90-52 in the first round of the Ball Dawgs Classic in Las Vegas, Nevada. NU never had a chance in the game, trailing for all 40 minutes. Further, the Wildcats played the contest without head coach Joe McKeown, who was tending to a family medical matter.
It was a poor shooting day for the Wildcats, shooting a mere 30% from the field and 20% from beyond the arc. Hailey Weaver posted her first career double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds, but no other ‘Cat had more than eight.
