EVANSTON, Ill. — Winners of four of its last five games, Northwestern head back out on the road Saturday when it travels to Maryland. Tip time is set for 11 a.m. Central.
The Wildcats (15-10, 6-6 B1G) are coming off a 61-52 home win over 20th-ranked Michigan on Tuesday. Bryant McIntosh matched a season high with 24 points, while Scottie Lindsey added 19 as the 'Cats limited the Wolverines to five field goals and 20 points in the second half.
The Wildcats have held each of their last three opponents under 60 points. It's the first time NU has kept three straight Big Ten foes under 60 since the 2013-14 season, the first for Chris Collins as head coach.

The Wildcats have dropped heartbreakers in each of their two previous visits to College Park, falling 68-67 Jan. 25, 2015 and 62-56 in overtime Jan. 19, 2016.
