How about a win in Evanston? It can be done.

Northwestern Wildcats

Record: 14-5 (5-3)
KenPom Rank: 45

Northwestern is currently sporting a winning conference record. But are they really that good? Does it matter?

KEYS TO A GOPHER WIN

No scoring droughts - NOw this is probably because we just aren’t very good offensively, but there have been too many games when the Gopher offense does several minutes without a field goal.
