Having played in just three games all year (with six points, all against Chicago State), senior wing Aaron Falzon exploded for a career-high 21 points against Indiana on Tuesday night. The Newton, Mass. native went 6-for-7 from beyond the arc, igniting the Welsh-Ryan Arena crowd and leading Northwestern to a 74-66 victory over Indiana. Falzon broke 20 points for just the second time in his career, well over three years after doing so in his first collegiate game.
Dererk Pardon added 17 points, including scoring his 1000th point on a free throw.
