With an NCAA tournament berth potentially in the balance, Northwestern’s prayers were answered.
The Wildcats’ Nathan Taphorn threw the ball the length of the floor with 1.3 seconds left to Dererk Pardon, whose layup at the buzzer broke a tie with Michigan and gave Northwestern a 67-65 victory Wednesday.
Perfect pass from @NU_nate32.#BTNStandout finish from @dererk5.
