Indiana's Double-Digit Lead Fades in 72-68 Loss to Northwestern
Indiana led by double digits at home but could not close, falling 72-68 to Northwestern as the Wildcats dominated the boards and controlled the game in the second half. IU shot just 8-for-26 after halftime (2-for-12 from three) and had limited contributions beyond Tayton Conerway, while Nick Martinelli surged to 28 points overall (21 in the second half). The Hoosiers’ defense remains under strain in Big Ten play, leaving three regular-season games to address consistency and finish.
