NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Gophers prove they are merely the 2nd-most cursed team in the Big Ten
There’s something mildly comforting watching the Gophers play against a team that we all know is trying desperately to throw away the final chance it has to lock down its first NCAA Tournament bid in school history.

Bubble Report 2012: Monday, March 5th
Less than 6 days to Selection Sunday, and then we will know for sure who the committee is going to put in the 2012 NCAA Basketball Tournament. A strong week for Purdue and Cincinnati has moved them from my bubble to IN status, shrinking the bubble to 10 teams.

Big Ten Preview - #8 NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS
Northwestern's outlook actually is pretty rosy this year: John Shurna is back to look like a total spaz nerd and do a little bit of everything, Drew Crawford now has two years under his belt and should just continue to get better, Luka Mrkovich will once again be the middle moving very little, JerShon Cobb should be a breakout candidate, and most of the little bit parts are...
