LUCAS' FIVE TAKES:
Northwestern's intensity/urgency was real. Leading B10 in FG % Defense. Neutralized Ethan Happ inside. Shutdown Bronson Koenig on perimeter

UW struggled to contain Bryant McIntosh on ball screens for 2nd consecutive year. Had 28 pts in Evanston; 25 here. Also 7 assists/503 career

D'Mitrik Trice's play in 2ndH was encouraging. Scored 11 points. (Had only 5 pts last 4 gm) B10 high was 7. Set season high with 6 rebounds

Vitto Brown snapped out of slump (2 of last 20 from arc) by making 3 of 6, including triple in 10-0 run that gave UW short-lived 2ndH lead

UW has been vulnerable b/c of poor shooting. Couldn't manufacture offense when needed. Especially at rim. Turnovers/transition pts costly
