WASHINGTON, D.C. — There would be no drama this time.
After needing a flurry of late three-pointers to earn a comeback win over Rutgers (15-18, 3-15 B1G) in Evanston February 18th, Northwestern (22-10, 10-8 B1G) came to the nation’s capital and dominated the Scarlet Knights 83-61 to advance to the third round of the Big Ten Tournament, where the Wildcats will take on Maryland on Friday night.
Vic Law Jr. and Scottie Lindsey led the way for the Wildcats, scoring 16 points apiece in the win. Pardon and McIntosh each chipped in 13 points themselves, in what was a balanced scoring attack throughout the night.
