It wasn’t so long ago that the Northwestern basketball program was on top of the world.
In 2017, the Wildcats enjoyed a 24-12 campaign and both made their first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history and won their first-ever tournament game in the first round over Vanderbilt before bowing out to No. 1 seed Gonzaga in the second.
Fast forward a couple of years, and Chris Collins’ squad is in a different place entirely. Northwestern is currently sitting at 12-14 on the season has lost seven straight games dating back to their 63-49 defeat to the Badgers in the first matchup of the season between these teams back on January 26.
