B-Mac made eight shots in his home state on Saturday night, but that won’t be the lasting memory of his performance. Instead, it’ll be the two shots he missed in the final ten seconds of Northwestern’s excruciatingly painful loss.
Unfortunately, and not for the first time this season, a superb offensive performance from the star point guard just wasn’t enough. The jumper was working, he found his way into the lane with relative ease throughout and even had a timely steal down the stretch.
