Despite an inspired performance from the senior duo of Scottie Lindsey and Bryant McIntosh on Senior Night, the end of the story was the same as its been all season for Northwestern.
Brevin Pritzl hit a clutch three to put Wisconsin up four with under 30 seconds left, Lindsey missed one on the other end, and the Wildcats dropped to 6-11 in Big Ten play with a 70-64 loss.
Despite the late miss, Lindsey was brilliant all evening, leading all scorers with 26 points on just 16 shots. McIntosh looked like his old self in his first game back from a shoulder injury, dropping 18 points and 6 assists, but his 6 turnovers may have been a sign of rust or trying to do too much.
