Lindsey paces Wildcats with 20 points
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Northwestern's momentum came to a halt against Maryland on Saturday in a 73-57 defeat at the Xfinity Center.
Scottie Lindsey followed up his 19-point outburst against No. 20 Michigan on Tuesday by answering the call again to the tune of a team-high 20 points. Lindsey sank four threes in back-to-back games for the first time in his career.
Dererk Pardon added 12 points and eight rebounds, while Aaron Falzon tallied eight with two makes from downtown.
Kevin Huerter led a balanced effort for the Terps with 22 points.
The #B1GCats dropped to 6-7 in conference while Maryland improved to 6-8.
Maryland came out of the gate strong at the Xfinity Center, but Northwestern kept pace thanks to threes from Vic Law and Gavin Skelly. Huerter started the game hot, sinking his first four attempts from the field as the Terrapins opened up a 19-8 lead.
The Terps had it going from beyond the arc early, knocking down seven of their first ten triples to push the lead to 32-16. The 'Cats pushed back with a 6-0 run from Scottie Lindsey to force Mark Turgeon into a timeout.
As they did against the Wolverines on Tuesday, the Wildcats kept battling to claw back into the game, this time with a 13-2 run to cut the deficit to 36-29 at the break. Lindsey erupted for 15 points in the first half, including a monster putback slam and a tough fadeaway three late in the shot clock to keep the 'Cats within striking distance.
Maryland responded with a 7-0 run of its own to start the second half to make it 43-29. Aaron Falzon threw a counterpunch for Northwestern with two makes from downtown to bring it to 47-39.
The 'Cats continued to lurk at an arm's length. Bryant McIntosh threw an alley-oop from 30 feet away for Law to slam home, and the hosts' lead shrunk to eight.
The Terrapins finally pulled away down the stretch with 11-1 run that proved to seal the win.
Chicago's Big Ten Team returns to the East Coast to play its fifth road game in six contests at Rutgers on Tuesday. Tipoff at the RAC is set for 8 p.m.
