It has been six days since Northwestern men’s basketball last played a game, its longest stretch of time off since the start of the season nearly two months ago. And although this lull without games may be boring to withstand as a fan, this break could not have come at a better time for the ‘Cats.
For some teams, such a long amount of time off might halt upward momentum and break a positive groove. But in Northwestern’s case, a squad in the midst of a seven-game losing streak, this break provides the perfect opportunity for the team to rest, recover and regroup after a tough couple of weeks.
