Examining Northwestern's three-point-fueled offense
Michael Shroyer-USA TODAY SportsSixteen minutes into the first quarter against North Carolina, it looked like Northwestern could be pull off the impossible. After Scottie Lindsay completed a three-point play, Northwestern had built a six-point lead on the road against the No. 9 team in the country. Of course, UNC closed out the half with a 14-1 run to restore order to the universe, but that game and recent results have shown that Northwestern has made significant strides on offense. Statistically, Northwestern looks better offensively than at any point during the Chris Collins era, and it’s worth taking a deeper dive to see what’s changed.
