The wait is over. No. 19, yes, that’s right, No. 19 Northwestern tips off its encore season at 7:30 p.m. CST at Allstate Arena against the Loyola Greyhounds (257 on KenPom). The final season for Scottie Lindsey, Bryant McIntosh, and Gavin Skelly will come with more expectations than ever before. The Wildcats are well within the top 25 and are looking to solidify their arrival onto the national stage under head coach Chris Collins. The rebuild is over; it’s time for Northwestern to reap the fruits of its labors. Of course, that harvest will take place at Allstate Arena, the host of tonight’s game and all Northwestern home games.
