Indianapolis, IN — It does not get more heartbreaking than that...
The Northwestern Wildcats (2-1) battled toe-to-toe with the favored Butler Bulldogs (2-0) on the road in historic Hinkle Fieldhouse, but came up just short down the stretch, with the Bulldogs’ Kamar Baldwin hitting a game-winning jumper in the final second of play.
The performance will certainly be more encouraging than disheartening for the team going forward. Vic Law had yet another impressive offensive game with 17 points, and Bryant McIntosh, Scottie Lindsey, and Sanjay Lumpkin also scored in double figures in a game that could have been a win for Chris Collins’ team on any other day.
