The last year has been anything but easy for Northwestern women’s basketball. The Wildcats have climbed up and been knocked down time and time again. But now, five days away from their first NCAA Tournament game since 2015, all they’ve faced has prepared them for the brightest stage of the game.
They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and at times this season, it was unclear if that was true for Northwestern. You could see the toll of the cancelation of last year’s tournament. You could see the fatigue this COVID-season has caused. But through it all, NU persevered and got right back to where it began.
