Game 13 Recap: Northern Kentucky 77, IUPUI 59
Northern Kentucky opened Horizon League play with a 77-59 win over new league member IUPUI Thursday evening at BB&T Arena. Drew McDonald was too much for the Jaguars recording a double-double with 27 points and 10 rebounds. After starting the game shooting 1-for-6 from the floor, McDonald would hit his last 10 shots. His start mirrored the Norse’s slow start. Facing a 9-point deficit with 8:50 left in the first half, NKU (8-5, 1-0 Horizon) ripped off a 19-0 run and never looked back. IUPUI (3-9, 0-1) was led by DJ McCall’s 11 points. The Norse are back in action at BB&T Arena Saturday against UIC.
