It’s not a mirage, folks. In an eight-day stretch, the Northwestern Wildcats have defeated the Purdue Boilermakers, the Indiana Hoosiers, and now the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Northwestern played what may have been its most complete game of the season in an 80-60 victory over Iowa Sunday night. The Hawkeyes did not hold a lead for a second of game action in a night that inspires confidence for what this team can be in the conference tournament and beyond. With the win, Northwestern captured a fifth consecutive victory, its 20th win of the season and avenged an earlier loss to the Hawkeyes.
