Northwestern's dream of winning BigTen tourney in Chicago suffers ugly demise vs. Penn State. B1GCats McGrawDHSports NUMen'sBball
Northwestern and Penn State might have played the greatest ugliest game in college hoops history Friday. Or maybe this was just another night in the Big Ten, just with a longer grind and slightly higher stakes. Yeah, well, most rock fights have better accuracy than this game.
According to Collins, it was not an intentional miss. With 4.7 seconds on the clock when Bouie went to the line, Collins felt there was time to foul and get another shot off. The shooting lines were borderline embarrassing. Audige went 3-for-14 from the floor, but hit a jumper with 1:19 left in OT to put the Wildcats up by 1. NU's Brooks Barnhizer was 4-for-13, but would have been the hero had the game ended in regulation. Ty Barry was 0-for-9 before hitting a three to put the Cats ahead with 2:32 left. On the other side, Penn State missed 11 free throws.
During the offseason, NU added assistant coach Chris Lowery, who spent eight years as head coach at SIU and the last 10 seasons with former Illinois boss Bruce Webber at Kansas State. Webber is walking around the UC as a Big Ten Network analyst this weekend, so Lowery was ready for a new challenge. Buie was able to jump around Pickett to snag a couple of Northwestern's 8 steals and the play wasn't a big part of Penn State's game plan.
