The Quakers dominated their two championships, while ZBT won a thriller in front of a raucous crowd
When it comes to sports, hockey often doesn’t get the glory it deserves. It’s rare to see more than one NHL game on TV every night and only four states (Minnesota, Michigan, North Dakota and Massachusetts) even know college hockey exists. While the NUIM basketball finals are moved to famed Welsh-Ryan Arena, floor hockey’s championship games are played in its normal setting, Patten Gym. Nonetheless, here’s a recap of Monday’s hockey championships. Continue reading →

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).
