After a tumultuous regular season campaign that featured a triumphant first half followed by a shaky close, the Northwestern Wildcats have made their way into the NCAA Tournament for a third consecutive full season.
The ‘Cats, who posted a 29-15 record against a schedule of exclusively Big Ten opponents, were announced Sunday night as the four-seed in the Lexington Regional. They’ll face off against the hosting 39-13 Kentucky Wildcats in their first postseason game on Friday at 11:00 a.m. CDT. Miami (OH) and Notre Dame make up the rest of the four team pool for the double elimination tournament that will be held next weekend.
