Between the six-minute marks in either half, the Wildcats’ point guard played what was easily an A+ game. He efficiently shouldered the offensive load, creating shots for himself time after time and relying on an unstoppable mid-range game to drag his team back into the game and help it keep pace with the Illini.
However, it was what occurred at the beginning and end of the game that pulled his overall grade down, and ultimately led to a Northwestern loss.
