Taking out Berry's 28 for 29 performance, Northwestern's FT percentage in conference play this year drops to 70.1%.
Rutgers has limited conference opponents to 32.1% from 3. Without Berry, NW is still at 42.9% on the conference season. Amazing stat - all of their guys that have attempted more than three 3Pters in B1G play are at 40% or more on the season. Two of those are small sample sizes (7 for 16 and 6 for 15).
Northwestern is allowing conference opponents to shoot 48.2% from the floor this year. That's the worst number in the conference.
The PSU game is the only thing making me hesitant in predicting a big win, because there were a lot of similarities in the stats. On the other hand, we have JWill and EO now, plus the memory of that PSU game. I think we come out with intensity again tonight and put the screws on Northwestern.
