After an upset win over Indiana, Northwestern faces a stiff challenge against Maryland.
Clearly, Nia Coffey and Christen Inman were not interested in leaving Indianapolis.
The majority of the fans in Indiana-friendly Bankers Life Fieldhouse, on the other hand, would have been all too happy to see them depart. But in front of a hostile crowd, Inman and Coffey combined for 44 points to continue Northwestern’s improbable run in the Big Ten Tournament.
After playing an overtime contest against Wisconsin and exacting revenge against Minnesota, one might assume Coffey would be tired. That was quite clearly not the case.
