From the Big Ten Conference...
Northwestern set a school Big Ten Tournament record with 25 made field goals. Its previous high was 24, on four occasions, most recently in 2011 against Minnesota. Eleven made three pointers also tied the school’s tournament record, which was done three times previously, most recently against Iowa in 2014. Northwestern also broke its Tournament single‐game rebound record with 45, the previous record was 44 against Penn State in 1999.
This was Northwestern’s third‐ever Big Ten Tournament overtime contest, and their third loss, having fallen to Minnesota in 2012 and Ohio State in 2011.
Northwestern committed just a solitary first‐half turnover, en route to recording only five giveaways in regulation and seven total.
All but two of Northwestern’s first‐half field goals were assisted, with McIntosh as the only Wildcat to score an unassisted field goal in first half.
Alex Olah’s 13 rebounds tied a career high, which was set against Iowa on Feb. 15, 2015. Olah scored in double figures (20) in all seven career matchups against Michigan. Olah moves into 22nd on Northwestern’s career scoring list with 1,461 points.
Northwestern’s trio of Tre Demps (21 points), Alex Olah (20) and Bryant McIntosh (19) accounted for 60 of the Wildcats’ 72 points (.833).
