Northwestern is headed back home with a Power Five win and a 2-1 mark at the Wooden Legacy tournament after a 79-57 win over Utah on Sunday afternoon.
A litany of Utah (3-3) turnovers helped NU (5-1) establish an early lead, before an impressive second half display in which NU outscored Utah 51-33 and shot 63 percent from the field. The Wildcats had major success from beyond the arc (10-of-21) and the charity stripe (15-of-22). Utah looked out of sync offensively, turning the ball over 21 times.
Vic Law led all scorers with 19 points, including 14 in the second half, while Dererk Pardon added 15 more on 5-of-5 shooting.
