This is the winter of our discontent.
Northwestern basketball is bad. After beating a shorthanded Minnesota team in Rosemont on Wednesday, some may have hoped that the Wildcats were returning to form. Instead, Northwestern laid a complete egg on both ends of the floor against Indiana, losing 66-46 in Assembly Hall. It was a catastrophic defeat for Northwestern, its most embarrassing Big Ten loss since...well, last week. Northwestern shot 15-for-56 from the field.
The first half was an affront to the sport of basketball, mostly thanks to Northwestern’s offensive ineptitude. Over the first 11 minutes, Northwestern scored three points.
