Northwestern looks for a more convincing win against another non-conference opponent.
Northwestern barely escaped a loss in its last game at home against Eastern Illinois, a loss that would have been bad for its March resume. The ‘Cats secured the win in overtime, though, and will now take on Montana State as non conference play rolls on. Wisconsin handled the Bobcats 79-67 in its first game of the season, making this somewhat of a measuring-stick game for NU as we continue to ponder how this squad will fair against Big Ten competition. Here’s everything you need to know about this matchup with the Bobcats:
