EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern makes its first road trip of the season Monday as it travels to Providence, R.I., to face Brown. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. Central time.
Monday's contest is the first of two true road games for the Wildcats during the nonconference season. NU also travels to Butler on Dec. 6.
Northwestern is coming off a 65-58 win over Houston Baptist last Friday in the season-opener for both teams. Alex Olah scored 18 of his game-high 21 points in the second half and added 10 rebounds for his second career double-double. Freshmen Vic Law and Bryant McIntosh added 13 and 12 points, respectively. The victory was NU's seventh straight in a season-opener.
Olah's double-double was the second of his career. His first came against Indiana Feb. 22, 2014 when he recorded 17 points and a career-best 11 rebounds. Friday's effort marked his third 20-point game and second 10-rebound game of his career.
McIntosh's effort included 6 assists and no turnovers in 35 minutes of action, while Law contributed 7 rebounds.
The Wildcats have a 22-9 all-time record against Ivy League members. Monday's game is only the second true road game NU will have played against a member of the conference. The lone other contest was at Brown on Nov. 22, 2008.
Northwestern holds a 6-2 lead in the all-time series. The Wildcats won the only previous meeting in Providence, 73-64 on Nov. 22, 2008. Craig Moore hit eight of his school-record nine 3-pointers and scored 24 of his career-high 31 points in the first half.
Scouting Brown
The Bears opened up their season Friday with a 70-58 home win over Saint Peter's. Sophomore guard Tavon Blackmon led Brown with 18 points and Saint Peter's was held to 36.1 percent shooting.
Brown returns four starters and seven letterwinners from last year's squad that went 15-14 overall, including 7-7 in Ivy League play which was good for a fourth-place finish. Senior forward Rafael Maia averaged 9.5 points and a team-best 8.1 rebounds per game a year ago.
Mike Martin is in his third season as the head coach at his alma mater where he has a 29-29 record.
