Wildcats finish with 34-16 rebounding advantage
ROSEMONT, Ill. -- Five Northwestern players scored in double figures and the Wildcats finished with a 34-16 rebounding advantage en route to a 75-66 victory over Saint Peter's at Allstate Arena Monday night.
Senior Bryant McIntosh led the way with 17 points and matched his career high with seven rebounds to go along with three assists. The Wildcats' starting frontcourt comprised of junior Dererk Pardon and senior Gavin Skelly added 15 and 14 points, respectively. Skelly chipped in six rebounds on the night, while Pardon finished with four rebounds and three assists.
Senior Scottie Lindsey tallied 12 points and six assists, while junior Vic Law finished with 10 points and seven rebounds. The last time Northwestern finished with five scorers in double figures was against IUPUI on December 20, 2016.
McIntosh continued his climb up the program record books, moving past Jim Burns for 13th place in school history in career points. His 17 points tonight moved his career total to 1,374--and now sits just 33 points behind Shon Morris for 12th place.
The Wildcats started out fast thanks to an early 8-0 run. Skelly energized the run with two highlight-reel dunks, including a thunderous alley-oop from Law followed by a put-back slam a minute later to make the score 8-3 early. Moments later, Lindsey drained a 3-pointer to extend the lead to 11-3 and force Saint Peter's to call a timeout.
During the run, Northwestern held the Peacocks scoreless for 5:05, marking the second consecutive game where the Wildcats have held an opponent scoreless for a stretch longer than five minutes.
Skelly led all players at the half with eight points and four rebounds. McIntosh and Pardon each finished the period with seven points.
The Wildcats went into halftime with a 32-25 lead thanks to an efficient offensive performance and disciplined defense in the first half. On offense, the 'Cats shot 50-percent from the field as a team, while going 10-of-11 from the free throw line. On the defensive end, Northwestern only had six fouls and held Saint Peter's without a free throw attempt throughout the entire first half. The last time Northwestern held an opponent without a free throw attempt in a half was January 28, 2016 vs. Michigan State.
The #B1GCats started the second half red hot from behind the arc. Skelly, Lindsey and Law each hit a triple on Northwestern's first three possessions of the period.
A layup by Pardon followed by a McIntosh jumper on the ensuing possession helped improve the 'Cats' shooting numbers to 5-of-6 to start the half. The jumper opened the lead up to 15 and forced another Peacocks' timeout.
First-year Anthony Gaines turned in a strong stretch of play midway through the second half as he scored five consecutive points including his first-career 3-pointer to extend NU's lead to 18 points.
Saint Peter's wouldn't go away as an 11-3 run brought them back within 10 points midway throught the second half, but Northwestern shut the door on any further comeback efforts.
As a team, the Wildcats finished the night shooting 49.0-percent from the field and 23-of-24 from the free throw line, their highest single-game free throw percentage since December 27, 2014.
Chicago's Big Ten Team will be back in action this Wednesday, Nov. 15, when they host Creighton at Allstate Arena at 8 p.m. Buy tickets here!
