Northwestern 63, Indiana-Purdue 61: JerShon Cobb's basket with two seconds left
rescued the host Wildcats in a hard-fought win over the Jaguars in the Continental Tire Las Vegas Invitational.
Drew Crawford's
12 points - all in the second half - and game-high 10 rebounds led Northwestern
(3-2), which rallied from a cold first half.
Dave Sobolewski had 10 points, including eight in the second half, while Alex Olah
and Cobb added eight points apiece.
Ian Chiles had
a game-high 19 points on 8-for-12 shooting for IUPUI (1-4) while Mitch Patton
added 18 points. Khufu Najee and Donovan Gibbs added 11 points apiece for the Jaguars.
The Jaguars hit
six of their first seven shots to open the second half en route to a 49-38 lead
- their biggest of the game - but the Wildcats scored 10 straight points
with 3-pointers from Sobolewski and Tre Demps to pull within 49-48. The two
teams traded slim leads the rest of the way with Patton hitting
two free throws to tie it at 61 with 20 seconds left before Cobb hit his
game-winner and Najee's desperation half-court heave bounced off the rim
at the buzzer.
The Jaguars started
out with an early 13-3 run for a 21-10 lead midway through the first half behind Chiles and Patton, who combined for 17 points in the half. Northwestern chipped
away behind Sanjay Lumpkin's eight points to close the gap to 31-28 at the
intermission.
GAME NOTEBOOK: IUPUI had nine blocked shots, led by Marcellus
Barksdale's five blocks. ... Crawford notched his second double-double of the
