EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) --- Nick Martinelli scored 34 points and Tre Singleton
notched a massive double-double as Northwestern beat Penn State 94-73 on
Thursday night.
It's the fourth time this season Martinelli has scored 32 points or more. He
entered Thursday as the fourth-leading scorer in Division I at 23.4 points per
game and has scored in double figures in all but one game this season. He was
13 of 19 from the field with four made 3-pointers.
Singleton racked up 17 points, 18 rebounds, four assists and two blocks for the
Wildcats (10-11, 2-8 Big Ten). It was the freshman's first career
double-double. Angelo Ciaravino added 20 points off the bench and Jake West had
13 assists.
The Wildcats led 45-40 at the half, but stretched that lead with an 11-2 run
early in the second half, featuring five points from Martinelli and a pair of
baskets from Ciaravino. The Nittany Lions drew back with an 8-0 run, before
allowing a 9-0 run from Martinelli and Singleton to fall into a 17-point hole.
Freshman Kayden Mingo led the Nittany Lions (9-12, 0-10) with 15 points, as the
Big Ten's youngest team remains winless in the conference. Ivan Juric added 14
points and six rebounds, while Josh Reed and Freddie Dilione V each scored 11
points.
Northwestern shot 60% from the field (38 of 63) and 55% behind the arc (12 of
22) compared to 49% and 33% for the Nittany Lions, respectively.
