Game Preview
At this time last year — heck, at this time last month — the thought of Northwestern contending for a Big Ten Conference title seemed downright laughable.
Guess who might be cackling at this time next month?
The 21st-ranked Wildcats took full advantage of a three-game homestand, upsetting then-No. 1 Purdue, holding off then-No. 14 Indiana and then blitzing Iowa 80-60 on Sunday to wind up in the Top 25 for the first time this season.
