CBS made Northwestern wait until the final region of the 2017 NCAA Tournament field to hear its name called for the first time in program history, but that didn’t limit the celebration in Evanston. Now, the Wildcats are tasked with slowing down a Vanderbilt team that is lethal from beyond the arc.
Both teams had a nice conference tournament win (over Maryland and Florida, respectively) to lock up their bids to the NCAA Tournament. They were each ousted in the ensuing semifinals, however.
They’ll meet on Thursday afternoon in Salt Lake City at 3:30 p.m. CST on TBS.
