The Wildcats are 14-3, but they have had several stretches of games in which they have played comically bad basketball.
- The Chicago State near-fiasco at home against one of the worst teams in the country.
- The second half against Dayton.
- The first 10 minutes against Michigan State.
- The final 10 minutes against Minnesota in which Northwestern blew a 7-point lead by scoring just 8 points down the stretch.
- The implosion in the final minute of the first half against Nebraska.
You can add the first 17 minutes against Rutgers to that list.
