Taphorn scores 18 as Northwestern beats New Orleans
EVANSTON, Ill. — Nathan Taphorn has a bigger role for Northwestern after injuries have limited the Wildcats’ depth.
The senior forward came off the bench and showed what he can do on offense Sunday night against New Orleans – and maybe even surprised some people.
Taphorn grabbed a rebound and dunked it for a 19-point lead before halftime as the crowd cheered.
“Guys were telling me they didn’t know I had it in me,” Taphorn said.
