Make it six blowout wins for the Northwestern Bulls this season. They were the clear victor by a 68-48 margin over Hialeah. Given Northwestern's advantage in MaxPreps' Florida basketball rankings (they are ranked 94th, while the Thoroughbreds are ranked 335th), the result on Tuesday wasn't entirely unexpected.

Northwestern pushed their record up to 11-7 with that win, which was their sixth straight at home.
