The senior has been leading NU's team, with 24.3 points and 6.8 rebounds across this month's four games for the Wildcats. They do not have a clear-cut No. 2 behind Martinelli and will have to play with lesser parts in their second-to-last non-conference game before conference action returns in January.

Jayden Reid - Hits double-digit points again Reid closed Tuesday's 86-70 victory over Valparaiso with 13 points (4-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal across 31 minutes.

Impact Reid hadn't scored in double figures since Nov. 21, but the guard finally changed that as Northwestern topped Valparaiso in one of the final out-of-conference games of the year for the Wildcats. Perhaps more importantly, though, Reid's facilitation continues to take a big step in his junior season, as he dished out another five assists and currently averages 5.5 on the season, easily a career high.
