2016-17 Record: 16-4 (5-2 Big Ten)
Last Meeting: January 8th, 2017 - Northwestern 74 Nebraska 66
Northwestern has become somewhat of a Cinderella team this year in the Big Ten. Their only losses to Minnesota and Michigan State. Both decent games against fairly good Big Ten teams. They’re playing so well that they are currently receiving votes in the top 25.
Yep, the team that is the perennial conference doormat is on the cusp of being talked about for March.
