MINNEAPOLIS — Live by the three, die by the three. That seems to be Northwestern's MO so far this season, and it didn't change on Saturday against Minnesota. After shooting 20 three-pointers against Maryland and 25 against Ohio State, the Wildcats once again fired away from deep, launching 25 three-pointers against Minnesota.
The only difference was the shots started going in.
It started with Aaron Falzon, the highly-touted three-point marksman, who was locked in from deep from the very beginning. Falzon hit four of his first five three-point attempts en route to a 20-point performance.
