It doesn’t get much bigger than this.
On the verge of history, Northwestern enters the final week of the regular season with two more chances to make an impression on the NCAA Tournament selection committee before the Big Ten Tournament. The Wildcats, who have lost five of seven games and have gone from 7-2 in conference play and a strong 7-seed to 9-7 and hanging on for dear life, desperately need at least one more win to stay on the right side of the bubble.
The good: both games will be played at Welsh-Ryan Arena.
