The Cougars have lost their last six games. That streak should continue today.
The Northwestern Wildcats (6-1) continue their non-conference schedule today in a weekend matinee as they host the SIU Edwardsville Cougars (1-6) at Welsh-Ryan Arena at 2:00 pm CST. This game kicks off a three-game homestand — though it will be interrupted by exam week — for the Wildcats, who don't have to leave the Chicago area for a game until their Big Ten opener in a few weeks at Nebraska.
Northwestern last played on Tuesday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge, beating Virginia Tech in overtime by a score of 81-79.
