Cobb's runner lifts Northwestern past IUPUI 63-61
Northwestern took a 59-55 lead with 2:29 left on three Sobolewski free throws, but IUPUI rallied and tied the score on a pair of Patton free throws with 20 seconds left, setting the stage for Cobb's heroics. Cobb got the ball on the left wing and drove to the lane just inside the foul line before pulling up for the shot. The ball bounced off the rim and backboard before dropping through.

The Wildcats trailed by 11 points midway through the second half before rallying.
Ian Chiles led IUPUI (1-4) with a game-high 19 points and Mitch Patton had 18.

The Wildcats were just 12-for-30 (40 percent) from the field in the first half, including 3-for-10 on three-pointers. They overcame a poor shooting night (24-for-58, 41.4 percent) to win their second straight.
IUPUI was 14-for-30 (46.7 percent) from the field in the first half.
Crawford opened the second-half scoring with a layup to trim the deficit to a point, but IUPUI quickly regained command and stretched the lead to 49-38 on a three-point play by Chiles with 10:18 remaining. Northwestern then answered with 10 straight points to make it 49-48 with 8:46 to play.
IUPUI tied the score on a pair of Patton free throws with 20 seconds left setting the stage for Cobb's heroics.
