Northwestern Is On Fire Will Their Winning Streak Continue Against Northeastern

Northwestern has been on a tear lately, winning three straight games against power conference teams after suffering three losses by a combined eight points earlier in the year. The Wildcats, now 9-3 on the season, are looking to extend their winning streak when they take on Northeastern on Sunday in Evanston, Ill.

Their recent success can be attributed to their ability to finish games strong, something that was lacking in their earlier losses. In those three losses, Northwestern had the lead or was tied in the final minutes of each game, but was unable to close out their opponents. However, in their current winning streak, the Wildcats have shown a newfound ability to finish games, outscoring their opponents by an average of 10 points in the fourth quarter.

Northwestern's offense has been led by their balanced attack, with four players averaging double figures in scoring. The team's leading scorer, Chase Audige, has been on a tear, averaging 15 points per game over the Wildcats' current winning streak. Audige's ability to score from both inside and outside the arc has made him a difficult matchup for opposing teams, and his clutch gene has been a key factor in Northwestern's recent success.

However, the Wildcats will face a tough test on Sunday against Northeastern. The Huskies have been one of the top teams in the Colonial Athletic Association, with a 7-3 record on the season. Northeastern is led by their dynamic guard duo of Jahmyl Telfort and Coleman Stucke, who average a combined 25 points per game. The Huskies' ability to shoot from beyond the arc, where they make over 35% of their three-point attempts, will be a key factor in their matchup against Northwestern.

Despite the challenge that Northeastern presents, Northwestern is confident in their ability to extend their winning streak. The Wildcats have been one of the top defensive teams in the nation, allowing just 60 points per game to their opponents. Their ability to shut down opposing teams' offense has been a key factor in their recent success, and they will look to do the same against the Huskies on Sunday.

The matchup between Northwestern and Northeastern is set to tip off at 2 pm CT on Sunday. The game will be a key test for both teams, with Northwestern looking to extend their winning streak and Northeastern seeking to pull off a major upset. With the Wildcats' recent success and the Huskies' ability to shoot from beyond the arc, this game is sure to be an exciting one.
