After a hard-fought loss to No. 23 Maryland on Tuesday, Northwestern (19-7, 8-5 B1G) squares off against Rutgers (13-14, 2-12 B1G) at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
Northwestern fell short in its last outing due to an explosive performance from Maryland’s Melo Trimble. The Wildcats will be hoping to bounce back against a Rutgers side they defeated 69-60 in Piscataway on January 12.
Luckily, Northwestern’s leading scorer Scottie Lindsey could be available for tonight’s game after missing the previous four games with an illness. It will be interesting to see how active Lindsey is in this game following his long layoff.
