Can the ‘Cats make it five consecutive home opener wins?

Opening day is finally here! After back-to-back runs to the NCAA Tournament, Northwestern looks to start its 2024-25 campaign in the win column. To tip off the new season, the ‘Cats host Lehigh in the first meeting between the two squads since the 2005-06 season opener. The Mountain Hawks were one win away from March Madness last season, losing in the Patriot League Tournament Championship. They return two All-Patriot League honorees in Keith Higgins Jr. and Tyler Whitney-Sidney. Here’s how to tune into tonight’s matchup.
