The last time Northwestern faced Penn State, it wasn't pretty. In fact, it might have been the ugliest offensive game of Northwestern's season. The Wildcats shot just 39 precent overall, including 3-for-26 from three (and 0-for-12 in the first half), and struggled overall in an 71-62 defeat.
So what has to change?
Three-point shooting
Well, for one thing, the shooting absolutely must improve. Northwestern gets over 36 percent of its points from downtown, the 29th-highest percentage in the nation. So from behind that line, Tre Demps can't go 2-of-8, Aaron Falzon 1-of-9, and Bryant McIntosh and Scottie Linsey each 0-of-3.
