Northwestern (14-13) bounced back from a three-game losing streak with a dominant 70-49 win over Ohio State last Thursday. Nick Martinelli was one of four Wildcats to score in double-figures in the win, leading the team with 18 points and 5 rebounds in his 24th game with at least 15 points this season.
The junior forward has taken on a more prominent role since senior guard Brooks Barnhizer (foot) and graduate student guard Jalen Leach (torn ACL) suffered season-ending injuries this month. Martinelli currently leads the Big Ten in scoring with 19.7 points per game.
With a 5-11 conference record, the Wildcats are currently 16th in the Big Ten, just one game behind Iowa, Minnesota, and USC, who are tied for 13th.
Minnesota (14-13) fell 69-60 against Penn State on Saturday at home, marking their second-worst performance of the season as they shot just 33.9% from the field. Senior guard Femi Odukale led the Golden Gophers in scoring with 15 points, while fifth-year senior forward Dawson Garcia added 11 points. With 19.4 points per game, Garcia ranks just third in the conference in scoring, behind Martinelli and Wisconsin guard John Tonje.
The Golden Gophers, currently 6-10 in conference play, have dropped their last three home games and look to bounce back tonight.
