After a competitive but disheartening loss to Iowa, Northwestern gets no respite, as they now travel to the toughest environment in the West to play what is likely the best team in the West. Yes, it’s Wisconsin week.
The ‘Cats have been a noted thorn in the Badgers’ side since Pat Fitzgerald’s arrival as a head coach in Evanston. However, it’s unlikely that this week’s game results in anything other than a dull loss in which NU’s offense looks very lacking and the defense starts to get tired as the minutes keep piling on, but in the crapshoot that is the Big Ten West, anything is possible.
