Northwestern (6-4) got back to its winning ways with a 96-31 drubbing over Chicago State (2-11). To say this game wasn’t close would be a massive understatement.
Vic Law led all scorers with 18 points, while Aaron Falzon, Scottie Lindsey and Dererk Pardon got into double figures, as well. The Wildcats dominated the Cougars in all facets of the game, putting the clamps on Chicago State from the tip and building an early lead.
It was a rough start for the Cougars, who didn’t score for the first 4:40 of the game. Granted, Chicago State isn’t a good offensive team, but the Wildcats were everywhere defensively, tipping passes, getting over picks and making the Cougars work for every shot.
