Mandatory Credit: Robert Goddin-Imagn Images Nick Martinelli scored 21 of his 28 points in the second half and Jake West added 16 points as visiting Northwestern rallied for a 72-68 Big Ten victory against Indiana on Tuesday in Bloomington, Ind.
Martinelli helped Northwestern (12-16, 4-13 Big Ten) win back-to-back conference games for the first time this season, as the league’s leading scorer provided multiple clutch baskets down the stretch.
West showed poise of his own. The freshman point guard hit a pair of free throws with 14.5 seconds left to put the Wildcats ahead by three after Indiana’s Sam Alexis split two free throws moments earlier with a chance to tie the game.
The Hoosiers drew within a point on Tayton Conerway’s dunk before Northwestern sealed the game from the foul line. West hit another pair with 8.4 seconds left, then Arrinten Page added a free throw following Tucker DeVries’ errant game-tying 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds to go.
Indiana (17-11, 8-9) lost for the third straight game. The Hoosiers, who built a 42-33 halftime lead on the strength of 62.5% marksmanship, slumped to 30.8% shooting after halftime while missing 11 successive shots during one stretch.
Lamar Wilkerson paced Indiana with 18 points and five rebounds. Conerway (14 points), Alexis (13) and DeVries (11) followed in double figures.
Martinelli hit a stepback jumper with 5:05 remaining to put the Wildcats ahead 61-60, their first lead since 9-8. Wilkerson gave the Hoosiers the advantage again on the ensuing possession, swishing a pair of free throws for his first points since the 11:37 mark of the first half.
With Indiana in the middle of a field goal drought that lasted 9:33, Martinelli struck again with a go-ahead corner 3-pointer with 2:59 remaining in the game. His jumper off a Tre Singleton offensive rebound with 1:44 left extended the Northwestern edge to four.
Page had 10 points and six rebounds for the Wildcats. Singleton grabbed a game-high eight boards.
Sparked by Wilkerson’s strong start from the floor, Indiana led by as many as 13 points in the first half before taking a 42-33 advantage into the break.
Wilkerson knocked down each of his first five field-goal attempts, including all four from long range, as he scored 14 points in the opening 8:23 to build a 20-13 lead. The Hoosiers hit 8 of 16 3-point attempts in the first half and 50% from beyond the arc.
Northwestern extended its series winning streak to six games.

WR Tyreek Hill: 'No power' in left leg after surgeries
Sep 29, 2025; Miami Gardens, Florida, USA; Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (10) is tended to by medical staff after injuring his leg against the New York Jets during the second half at Hard Rock Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Rich Storry-Imagn Images Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill still has “no power” in his surgically repaired left leg, 10 months after undergoing two operations.
The eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro selection posted a workout video on YouTube on Wednesday night, updating his recovery from a dislocated left knee and torn ACL sustained in late September last season.
“My left leg is the one that I injured,” said Hill, 32. “I have no power in my left leg, so I’m trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it’s one day at a time.”
Hill, who said doctors told him he “might not be able to walk again” after the injury, is seen running and performing a variety of exercises in the video.
With NFL teams starting to report to training camp this week, Hill did not say when he will be ready to get back on the field.
“I ain’t going to tell you what my timeline is, but timeline looking real good right now, man,” Hill said.
The Miami Dolphins released Hill on Feb. 16 in a cost-cutting move after four seasons with the team, making him a free agent for the first time in his career.
Hill caught 21 passes for 265 yards and one touchdown in four games in 2025 before the injury. He has 819 catches for 11,363 yards and 83 TDs in 145 career games for the Kansas City Chiefs (2016-21) and Dolphins (2022-25).
