Surely something’s got to give, right? The Chicago Cubs won the World Series, after all.
Maybe this is Northwestern’s year. This season has felt different than all the others. Entering the Big Ten tournament, Northwestern (21-10, 10-8) has the most wins in program history. The Wildcats also bolstered their NCAA tournament résumé with a road win last month at one of the toughest places to play, taking out then-No. 7 Wisconsin 66-59 at the Kohl Center in Madison.
And some of that Chicagoland magic might be on the Wildcats’ side. On March 1, with 1.7 seconds left, Northwestern’s Nathan Taphorn heaved a court-length pass to Dererk Pardon, who hit a buzzer-beating layup to stun Michigan 67-65.
