The Wildcats couldn't make a three all day, but when it mattered the most, they got two huge triples from Aaron Falzon to get the win.
It took an extra five minutes, but Northwestern (10-1) was able to beat cross-county foe DePaul (5-6) on Saturday afternoon 78-70 behind 18 points from Tre Demps and two huge threes in overtime from Aaron Falzon.
The first half was a slogfest for both teams, and actually looked more like the opening 20 minutes from a Northwestern game last year, not this one. The Wildcats couldn't get much going on offense -- save for a few impressive fastbreak possessions -- against a stingy DePaul defense and weren't able to make the open looks they did get, especially from three.
