EVANSTON, Ill. — Northwestern continues its stretch of games against local opponents Tuesday when it hosts Lewis at Allstate Arena. Tip time is set for 7 p.m.
Tickets are available online at NUsports.com, by calling 888-GO-PURPLE or in person at the Allstate Arena Ticket Office.
Tuesday's game is the fourth consecutive for the Wildcats against a local foe. The Wildcats defeated Chicago State, 96-31, last Monday before topping Valparaiso, 84-50, on Thursday and DePaul, 62-60, on Saturday.
Scottie Lindsey tallied 25 points, including hitting seven 3-pointers, in leading NU (8-4, 1-1 B1G) to Saturday's victory over DePaul. The seven triples are the most by a Wildcat since John Shurna matched a school record with nine vs. Eastern Illinois Dec. 18, 2011.
The Wildcats have hit at least 11 3-pointers in each of their last three games. NU ranks third in the Big Ten with an average of 8.7 3-point makes per contest.
Northwestern is forcing an average of 17.9 turnovers over the last seven contests, including forcing 25 against Chicago State last Monday and 21 by Valparaiso last Thursday.
Northwestern leads the all-time series, 4-0, but the schools haven't met in the regular season since the 1914-15 season. NU did top Lewis, 57-46, in an exhibition game Nov. 6, 2013 in Evanston.
Lewis assistant coach Marlon London was an assistant coach at St. Joseph High School in Westchester when NU junior guard Jordan Ash attended there, including winning a state championship as a senior.
