Northwestern has its lone opportunity of the non-conference portion of its schedule to go on the road and beat a Power 5 opponent Tuesday night, as the Wildcats travel to Blacksburg, Virginia to take on ACC cellar-dweller Virginia Tech in the Big Ten/ACC championship.
The Hokies sit at 4-2 on the young season, starting off the year with a home loss to Alabama State before reeling off three-straight. Buzz Williams' squad then gave up nearly triple digits in a loss to No. 4 Iowa State before finding the win column once again with an overtime victory over UAB.
