Northwestern (20-7, 9-5 B1G) defeated Rutgers (13-15, 2-13 B1G) in dramatic fashion Saturday night, erasing a six-point deficit late in the second half en route to a 69-65 win in Scottie Lindsey’s return to game action. Bryant McIntosh led the way for the Wildcats with 18 points, including a go-ahead, pull-up three pointer with 58 seconds to play. With the win, Northwestern sits alone at fourth in the Big Ten after Michigan State lost to Purdue earlier in the day. Here are notes from the post-game press conference:
