The gothic jerseys didn't work this time against Michigan.
In a grind-it-out, low-scoring affair in Ann Arbor, Northwestern (13-10, 4-6 Big Ten) came up second best, falling 58-47 to No. 24 Michigan (18-6, 7-4). Scottie Lindsey led the Wildcats with 15 points, but he was the only Wildcat in double figures. After holding an early lead, the NU offense came to a standstill, which allowed John Beilein's team to get back into the game and take the lead.
NU got off to a good start in the game's opening minutes, jumping out to a 14-5 lead over the Wolverines.
