After kind of, sort of messing around with a lower division opponent that was facing a clear and obvious talent gap, Northwestern finally got its act together in the second half of its exhibition vs Lindenwood and cruised to an 85-42 win on Friday night. Here are three takeaways from the performance with the regular season fast approaching.

The sophomore guard was the star of the show last night, as he finished with a team-high 17 points on 5-for-7 shooting from the field in addition to a symmetric 5-for-7 performance from the foul line.
