Purdue came into Welsh-Ryan Arena on the campus of Northwestern looking to shake a two game losing streak and get back into form, but Northwestern would have none of that. After being beaten at home earlier in the year by ranked teams Butler, Michigan State, and Wisconsin, Northwestern finally got over the hump and beat a ranked team at home. Led by Micheal Thompson’s 20 points and Drew Crawford’s 15 point, 7 rebound performance, the Northwestern Wildcats improve to 13-4 overall. Although they are only 2-3 in the Big Ten, Northwestern is in a good position to win some games and get back in the conference race.
