Northwestern is looking to rebound after a tough road loss at Minnesota where they fell in a 95-92 barn burner on Wednesday. However, the Wildcats have been causing problems for opponent offenses all year as they lead the Big Ten in steals (11.4 spg) and turnovers forced (19.6 per game). NU also protects the paint with nearly five blocks per game to rank third in the Big Ten. Nia Coffey leads NU in scoring as she averages a double-double with 19.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per game to go along with 1.9 blocks per contest. She is the only player in the Big Ten averaging double figures in points and rebounds. Maggie Lyon ranks second on the team in scoring with 16.3 ppg and leads NU in 3-point makes. The senior co-captain broke NU's all-time record for career 3-pointers made against Minnesta. Junior Christen Inman adds 15.2 ppg and Ashley Deary chips in 13.1 ppg. Deary also leads the country in steals (4.5 spg) and is second in the conference in assists (6.5 apg).
