Building off their decent play last night in the loss to No. 9 North Carolina, the Northwestern Wildcats used a great first half to hang onto a 67-62 victory over the Big 12's Missouri Tigers tonight in Kansas City as a part of the CBE Hall of Fame Classic. Bryant McIntosh and Tre Demps led the Wildcats with 13 points apiece in the win while Sanjay Lumpkin contributed nine points. Terrance Phillips led the Tigers with 16 points on 6-of-11 shooting.
The Wildcats seemed poised for a blowout win but found themselves only up three in the game's final minute.
