Big Ten power rankings, observations: NCAA Tournament? Nah, Northwestern should try to win the B10

The quote of the weekend belongs to Chris Collins. The Northwestern coach has found himself as the curator of a place where the lone tradition is being a traditional loser. It's a confounding position to be in. Any success is a break in tradition. That's when the ants start crawling under the skin.

"I worry about it every second," Collins said Saturday, according to the Chicago Tribune, after a 68-55 win over Indiana. He'd been asked if he's concerned about how his team would handle success.

For those who are somehow unaware, this is an unprecedented season at Northwestern.
