A Night Of Northwestern Hoops On The Big Ten Network
Dec. 1, 2008
EVANSTON, Ill. -- Before the live broadcast of Northwestern's contest against UC Riverside at 8 p.m. CT Monday, Wildcat fans can enjoy a classic game from Northwestern's past at 6 p.m. on the Big Ten Network. As part of "The Big Ten's Greatest Games", the network will air NU's 75-74 overtime win over No. 23 Iowa from January 26, 2005. Senior Michael Jenkins hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer to win the game in overtime. The broadcast will replay at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2. Vedran Vukusic, who was doubtful to start because of a sore shoulder, instead played 43 minutes and scored a career-high 32 points for Northwestern, including a staggering 13 in the final two minutes of regulation. Jeff Horner's three-pointer put Iowa up 71-68 in overtime, and Pierre Pierce's jumper gave the Hawkeyes a five-point cushion before Vukusic had two free throws and a layup to make it 73-72. Greg Brunner made one of two free throws, and then Horner -- an 80-percent shooter from the line -- missed twice, giving the Wildcats another chance with 18 seconds to go. After a timeout with 10.6 seconds left, Northwestern turned it over when T.J Parker's backdoor pass could not be handled by Vukusic in traffic. However, Parker -- who scored 12 points and joined Vukusic as the only NU players in double figures -- made up for it by coming up with the steal on Pierce's inbounds pass (Pierce's 10th turnover of the game). Following two timeouts with 2.7 seconds left, the 5-foot-9 Jenkins got open in the left corner, took the inbounds pass from Tim Doyle, and set off pandemonium when his shot finally went in. Northwestern players and fans raced to the floor to mob the 5-foot-9 Jenkins following a dramatic victory that saw the Wildcats rally from 12 points down with just 3:27 to go in regulation.
Vukusic had sent the game to overtime when he hit three straight free throws after being fouled by Pierce on a 3-point attempt with 13.8 seconds left in regulation.
