Behind a gargantuan effort from Bryant McIntosh and Scottie Lindsey, Northwestern (15-4, 4-2) steamrolled the visiting Iowa Hawkeyes (11-8, 3-3) by the score of 89-54 at Welsh-Ryan Arena on Sunday night.
The Wildcats’ point guard and captain, who has struggled with his shot so far this season, racked up 20 points on 9-11 shooting to go along with 10 assists, while his backcourt mate paced the team with 22 points of his own, 14 of which came in the second half as Northwestern emphatically pulled away.
It was the Wildcats’ third win on the bounce in the Big Ten, and after a 1-2 start in conference play they now sit in a tie for third place.
