Can the ‘Cats keep their season alive?
After defeating No. 12 Minnesota on Wednesday, Northwestern advanced to take on No. 5 Wisconsin in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament. In the last meeting, the Badgers left Evanston with a 75-69 win. This time, the Wildcats won’t have the advantage of playing on their home court and will also be without Jalen Leach, who scored 23 in the February 1 matchup. With the winner earning the right to take on No. 4 UCLA, Northwestern looks to avoid having its Big Ten Tournament dreams dashed by the Badgers for the second-straight year. Here’s everything you need to know about Thursday’s matchup:
