After trailing most of the game, Northwestern’s forward Aaron Falzon, knocked down two three’s to help seal the deal for the Wildcats in overtime.

Center Alex Olah and forward Sanjay Lumpkin also chipped in with 14 points and seven rebounds respectively.
The Blue Demons were led by senior forward Myke Henry. Henry is a 6’6, 238 pound small forward, who can do a little of everything on the basketball court.

Simpson is a 5’11, 164 pound point guard, who is a very aggressive scorer. He scored all 13 of his points in the first half, which kept DePaul in the game early.

DePaul’s leading scorer, Billy Garrett, was held to only seven points. Early foul trouble only enabled him to play two minutes in the first half (23 total minutes).
