The Northwestern Wildcats (16-4, 5-2 Big Ten) host the Nebraska Cornhuskers (9-10, 3-4) on Thursday at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
Northwestern is coming off its first win in Columbus since 1977, and its fourth straight overall. Despite only shooting 37.5% from the field, led by off nights from Vic Law (4-13) and Bryant McIntosh (4-12), Scottie Lindsey’s 21 points and Sanjay Lumpkin’s 11 boards were enough for Northwestern to grind out a comeback win against the Buckeyes. Good free throw shooting from Law and Lindsey down the stretch sealed the game in the face of a pesky but inconsistent Ohio State team.
