EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) Chase Audige scored 19 points and reserve Brooks Barnhizer scored 18 and Northwestern Wildcats beat UIC 92-54 on Tuesday night.

Boo Buie scored 16, reserve Julian Roper II 12 and Robbie Beran 10 for Northwestern. The Wildcats made 28 of 43 shots from inside the 3-point line.

Coming off an 83-45 win over DePaul on Saturday, the Wildcats have now won consecutive contests by 38 points.

Jaden Brownell made a 3-pointer to get the Flames within 17-14 with 11:21 before halftime. Northwestern countered with a 15-2 run, led 32-16 a little more than five minutes later and grabbed its first 20-point lead on consecutive baskets by Audige.

The Wildcats led 42-21 at intermission. Northwestern built an early 15-8 advantage and never trailed. Nine Northwestern players entered the scoring column.

Toby Okani scored 12 points for UIC.

The Wildcats improve to 9-2 for the first time since 2016-17. Northwestern entered 8-2 for the second straight year under head coach Chris Collins.

It was the first meeting between the two teams since 2014. Northwestern leads the all-time series 6-4 and won the previous meeting 63-46 on Dec. 22, 2014.

The Wildcats are 27-14 against the current alignment of the Missouri Valley Conference. UIC saw its three-game win streak end and fell to 8-5.
