John Shurna lit it up again from the field, but did not have enough help from his team for Northwestern to pull off the upset
NU made a furious comeback in Madison, a near-impossible place to win, only to fall short after late-game miscues
In forty minutes, we got a glimpse of the two Northwestern basketball teams that fans have grown to love and hate over the course of this season. With lackluster defense, little hustle, and poor shot selection, the ‘Cats of the first half resembled the team that staggered onto the court against teams like Texas-Pan American, Ohio State, and the first game against Michigan State. But in the second half, out of the locker room ran an inspired, tough team with a sense of urgency, not unlike the team that upset Purdue, demolished Michigan, and handed Illinois a tough loss. Unfortunately for Northwestern, it took way too long for the team to finally realize how vital this game was, something that becomes very apparent in the report card. Continue reading →

John Shurna led NU with 17 points, but he was only 2-9 from behind the arc as cold shooting doomed the 'Cats
Stunning loss to Penn State knocks Northwestern out of the Big Dance.
When an elderly woman describes your college basketball team as “embarrassing,” that’s, well, embarrassing.
If there is any benefit to supporting a perennially awful basketball team, it’s that you don’t have to experience devastating losses that kill postseason hopes. The football team has had its fair share (if I may digress: 1995 Miami (OH), 1996 Rose Bowl, 2000 Iowa, 2004 Hawaii, 2005 Sun Bowl, 2006 New Hampshire, 2007 Duke, 2008 Indiana, 2008 Alamo Bowl, 2010 Outback Bowl–to name a few).

KyLe: "When are we gonna get some floor hockey love?"
The winter intramural season’s playoffs are fast approaching, and while some of IM basketball’s best teams are on a bye for the last week of the regular season, there’s still plenty of jockeying to be done in week five. Continue reading →

Juice Thompson's 20 points were not nearly enough as the 'Cats fell in Iowa

In NCAA lacrosse, there are like nine John Wooden-era UCLAs. No, seriously.
The No. 1-ranked NU women’s lacrosse team is back, and hungry for its sixth straight NCAA championship. Losing three top attackers in Hannah Nielsen, Hillary Bowen and Meredith Frank isn’t easy, but after scoring a cool 18 goals against UMass in their first game, the Wildcats don’t look like they’ve lost much firepower since the championship game against North Carolina, which left Michael Wilbon pretty satisfied.
But how do the ‘Cats stack up in lacrosse lore? Continue reading →
