Look ahead to this winter and mark your calendars, Wildcats fans, because Northwestern men’s basketball’s official schedule for the 2016-17 season is now complete. With the Big 10 having released its full slate of conference games for the upcoming campaign on Thursday, and Northwestern having already announced its non-conference opponents in early July, Chris Collins and his team now know the exact road that they will have to navigate in their latest drive towards that elusive NCAA Tournament appearance. As has already been heavily discussed, the program has not done itself any favors by yet again treating itself to a cakewalk of a non-conference schedule, meaning that the Wildcats will be left to take care of most—if not all—of their resumé building for March in conference play.
