Northwestern’s Ryan Langborg took over in overtime as the No. 9 Wildcats took down No. 8 Florida Atlantic 77-65 on Friday.
Langborg scored 12 of Northwestern’s 19 points in the extra period as the Wildcats got the game to overtime thanks to a Brooks Barnhizer layup with nine seconds to go. Barnhizer’s bucket came after Northwestern was scoreless for over four minutes after taking a 56-50 lead with 4:52 to go in the second half.
Langborg finished with a game-high 27 points and became just the second player in NCAA tournament history to score at least 20 points for multiple teams in the NCAA tournament, according to CBS Sports research.
