Zach Edey and Braden Smith carried the offense (45 combined points), and Lance Jones did just about everything else (4 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals).

Northwestern (15-5, 6-3) has won its past three home games and lost two straight on the road. The Wildcats are among the nation's worst rebounding teams (30.5 per game, -3 margin) but are second-best in assist/turnover margin (1.8 assists per turnover).
Northwestern team leaders: Boo Buie (18.5 points, 5.3 assists, 1.4 steals); Lafayette Jeff High School alum Brooks Barnhizer (14.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 steals); Ryan Langborg (11.5 points, 40% 3s); Ty Berry (11.4 points, 42.5% 3s, 1.5 steals). Chris Collins is in his 11th season as coach.
