Brooks Barnhizer had quite the day on-and-off the court Friday.
The Northwestern junior guard helped guide his team to a 77-65 overtime victory over Florida Atlantic to help the Wildcats advance to the second round.
Barnhizer had 13 points and 10 rebounds and really stepped up in the absence of seniors Matthew Nicholson and Ty Berry, who are out for the remainder of the season. However, no points were bigger than the ones he scored at the end of regulation, as he buried a clutch layup that helped send the game to overtime, where the Wildcats would prevail.
