The vibes are immaculate right now around the Northwestern Wildcats.
Following NU’s fifth straight victory, and third straight over an opponent deemed “superior,” Northwestern appears to be on a date with destiny. For only the second time in school history, NU will be headed to the NCAA Tournament, and the buzz around the team could not be better.
Between a student section that fills up within minutes of the gates opening, a sold out crowd over the last three games (albeit mostly away fans), weekly media availabilities that actually have Chicago news stations and an AP Top 25 ranking, there may not be a better time to be a Wildcat fan than right now.
