Will the ‘Cats start the season with a win?
Northwestern women’s basketball is back, tipping off its season against Illinois State tonight. The ‘Cats will look to start off their season on a positive note after a rough 2023-24. Big Ten play is still pretty far in the future which is when the real test starts, but the journey begins tonight. Illinois State is a formidable lower conference opponent, having finished 22-12 and 13-7 in conference last season. Head coach Joe McKeown’s squad’s first test isn’t a walk over by any means.
