With the start of college basketball season on the horizon, we’ll be taking a long look at the conference at large as well as Indiana’s roster over the next month. Today, our Big Ten team previews continue with a look at Northwestern.
Northwestern was a national media darling last season. The Wildcats reached the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history and took Gonzaga to the wire in the second round.
That success has expectations much higher entering the 2017-18 season for the Wildcats, who return four starters from a team that won 10 Big Ten games and finished last season 24-12.
