Since the very beginning of the month of February, the script has largely been a familiar one for Joe McKeown and Northwestern women’s basketball, which finished the regular season 13-7 (11-7 Big Ten) after a 63-58 road loss to No. 12 Michigan on Sunday, earning the fifth seed in the upcoming conference tournament.
The Wildcats have shot below 40 percent in six of their past seven games, a span in which they are 3-4, with the other two victories coming against the two worst teams in the Big Ten. They have failed to crack 70 points even once.
