Northwestern’s third-quarter run fuels miraculous 70-67 comeback win

Phenomenal. Incredible. Unbelievable.

There are only so many words that can describe the events that occurred Sunday afternoon, where the Wildcats fought throughout despite a 16-point deficit to take down the Badgers. It may have been a battle at the bottom of the Big Ten, but a win is a win, and Northwestern (8-13, 1-9 B1G) won its first conference game of the season, defeating the Wisconsin Badgers (7-15, 2-8 B1G) by the score of 70-67.

Paige Mott kept Northwestern close early and impacted the game all the way through, totaling 23 points and nine boards (six of which were offensive).
