Pass me the neuralyzer, please, for I do not wish to remember this game for any longer.
Northwestern (17-7, 6-5 B1G) went to Bloomington and lost 68-36 to Indiana (17-8, 7-5 B1G). This time, there were no silver linings, no surprise bench performances, no optimistic hopes for the next game. After the shellacking, Northwestern’s NCAA Tournament hopes are in serious jeopardy, and two daunting road trips to Minnesota and Iowa await.
Northwestern nearly got doubled up by a team it beat comfortably at home a few weeks ago. In the process the Wildcats scored just 36 points.
