EVANSTON, Ill. -- Jitim Young and Vedran Vukusic scored 17 points each as Northwestern beat Penn State 65-52 Saturday, the Wildcats' third straight win in a late-season surge.
Northwestern (11-11) has a 6-5 record in the Big Ten, its best conference mark this late in the season since the 1999 team was 6-4.
The game was stopped for several minutes in the second half when Northwestern sophomore guard Evan Seacat fell to the floor near midcourt after running into a screen set by 7-foot center Jan Jagla. After the collision, Seacat was motionless while a fight for possession of the ball was going on. Once possession was established, officials stopped the game and Seacat was treated by team trainers. About 10 minutes later, Seacat was taken off the floor on a stretcher.
Seacat was taken to Evanston Hospital with what appears to be a possible concussion, according to Northwestern spokesman Mike Mahoney, and will stay over night for observation. Mahoney said Seacat was able to move his extremities.
