EVANSTON — Lose, rinse, repeat.
For the ninth straight game, Northwestern lost.
The Wildcats (12-16, 3-14 Big Ten) fell big at the hands of Minnesota (18-11, 8-10), losing 62-50 after shooting just 34 percent from the floor. Outside of Dererk Pardon, who scored 16 points and had 13 rebounds, NU had virtually no offense in the game KenPom said was Northwestern’s best chance to earn a victory the rest of this season.
Gopher guard Amir Coffey, the younger brother of legendary Northwestern women’s player Nia Coffey, who was nearly outscoring the Wildcats by himself at one point, tallying 32 points on a 12-of-19 shooting.
