Northwestern’s offense has been bipolar this season, sometimes looking like an offense that can compete with the rest of Big Ten while also occasionally looking like a team that momentarily forgot how to pass and shoot.
Following a disappointing loss in Fort Myers against Pitt, headlined by their abysmal 36.5% shooting from the field, the ‘Cats (4-3) bounced back in a big way against a struggling Eagles team (4-5) in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
Northwestern put up a season-high 82 points, thanks to an extremely efficient shooting night in addition to superb ball movement. The ‘Cats shot 32-55 from the floor on the whole, going 9-20 from beyond the arc and dishing out a season-high 18 assists along the way.
