While most students traveled home to see their families over Thanksgiving break, the men’s basketball team travelled to Fullerton, Calif. to participate in the Wooden Legacy tournament.
The Wildcats got punched in the mouth in their first game by Fresno State (3-2), losing 78-59. The NU offense was brutally stagnant, and the Wildcats did not match Fresno’s intensity. Vic Law paced the team with 13 points, and Dererk Pardon added 11 points and 7 rebounds. Don’t let Pardon’s numbers fool you, though. Fresno State’s pressure forced to Cats to initiate their offense far away from the basket, and they struggled to feed Pardon as a result.
