Northwestern has shown some life in its attempt to make the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back years for the first time in program history. The Wildcats, after losing consecutive games in overtime on the road to Purdue and Minnesota, have bounced back with home victories over Nebraska and Penn State. They’ll head to Rutgers Thursday night looking for a three-game conference winning streak.
Standing in the way is Rutgers, which is trying to revive its season, as well. The Scarlet Knights have won three in a row after upsetting No. 10 Wisconsin, 78-56, over the weekend. Which team keeps its streak alive on Thursday?
