It feels like change is afoot in year three of the Chris Collins regime at Northwestern. We asked Henry Bushnell how important Tuesday's game against the Badgers is for the Wildcats.
For the first time since 2009, Wisconsin is looking up at Northwestern in the Big Ten conference standings. Despite making a serious run at Purdue, Indiana and Maryland, the Badgers (9-8, 1-3 Big Ten) and their disjointed offense has left them in serious jeopardy of falling to .500 with a loss at Northwestern (14-3, 2-2) on Tuesday night.
On the bright side, Wisconsin's improving defense has held each of the previously-mentioned Top 50 offenses to under the magical one point-per-possession threshold.
