Final Timeout: Cats coasting
It really seems like Northwestern has been coasting for a while. UC Riverside has cut the lead to 51-40 with 3:20 to play and look like they have one last run in them.
The Wildcats have fought off every run in the half so far, but they have taken the foot off the pedal considerably since holding a 48-30 lead six minutes ago. The lead has not gotten past 18 in the half and the Islanders have hung around.
It is probably too little too late for UC Riverside to complete the comeback, but it doesn’t make the Northwestern side feel any better.
