It’s a dangerous time for Northwestern basketball. Already facing a major uphill battle for a return to the NCAA Tournament after a terrible performance in the non-conference portion of their schedule, the Wildcats dropped to 1-2 in Big Ten play with an ugly, disheartening home loss to Nebraska on Tuesday.
With its March Madness (and, honestly, NIT) dreams fading faster than you can say Vic Law, Northwestern now heads to State College, PA to take on a solid Penn State team. The big question mark heading into Friday’s game is the availability of Bryant McIntosh; the senior point guard missed the Nebraska game after hurting his knee against Brown last weekend.
