The Wildcats will attempt to continue their magical postseason run tonight against the Bobcats. Ohio (30-5, 14-4 MAC) edged High Point, Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky to get here, and has a 14-0 record against non-MAC opponents this season. Northwestern (19-14, 9-9 B1G) advanced thanks to remarkable comebacks against Toledo and West Virginia after an impressive first-round beatdown of Dayton.
The Wildcats will have to rely on the continued success of Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah on the glass and defensively, Lindsey Pulliam in terms of scoring, and Veronica Burton to run things on both sides of the ball.
