This one went as expected.
Northwestern (8-3, 0-2 Big Ten) dominated from start to finish in a 88-46 win against a Chicago State team (3-10) that just didn’t have the talent to compete.
Vic Law and Miller Kopp led the way for NU with 17 points each, and Dererk Pardon added 13 points and seven rebounds in the win. Northwestern shot 51 percent for the game, while Chicago State shot just 31 percent.
Northwestern shot 50 percent in the first half, though it went just 6-of-17 from deep in the first 20 minutes. Five players had five or more points in the first half, including freshmen Ryan Greer and Miller Kopp.
