It’s been 79 years in the making.
WELCOME TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT.
The Northwestern Wildcats (23-11, 10-8 Big Ten) are set to face the Vanderbilt Commodores (19-15, 10-8 SEC) in the Round of 64 in the 2017 NCAA tournament this afternoon.
The Wildcats will look to point guard Bryant McIntosh and wings Vic Law Jr. and Scottie Lindsey to lead the charge offensively, just as the three did last week in the Big Ten Tournament in Washington, D.C. Lindsey is looking much closer to himself after a bout with mononucleosis, Law Jr. is coming out of a late-season shooting slump, and McIntosh has carried the team through the struggles of both of them.
