Hearn, Marcotullio say goodbye
Lost in the hype of the Big Ten Tournament and the speculation of Bill Carmody’s job status, seniors Reggie Hearn and Alex Marcotullio donned Northwestern purple one last time Thursday. Emotions ran high for two players who have seen the program change tremendously over the past four years.

Big Ten Hoops Power Rankings
Michigan (6-1) 19-1 – If Burke is on the court their offense is impossible to stop. That and their defensive length and anticipation makes it hard to operate without turnovers. Will have their biggest test yet this Saturday at Indiana.
Indiana (6-1) 18-2 – Excellent in transition and from behind the 3-point line, but the Hoosiers still don’t play...
Northwestern upsets #12 Gophers, in front of very poor student showing
Every year Northwestern Wildcats basketball beats a couple ranked teams during the Big Ten slate. So whenever they play someone good at home you want to be there so you can see a big event, right? Like when the fans stormed the court after taking down a top ten Michigan State team last year. Well the “Wildside” student section doesn’t seem to think so. They hardly showed...
Northwestern upsets Minnesota
Jared Swopshire scored 16 points to lead Northwestern to a 55-48 victory over No. 12 Minnesota on Wednesday night.
In a game where baskets were hard to come by at times, the Wildcats (12-8, 3-4 Big Ten) made just enough shots down the stretch to beat a ranked opponent for the second time in three games while sending the Gophers (15-4, 3-3) to their third straight loss.

Gophers hit the road to Northwestern to get back on track
It may be a bit early for such grand pronouncements, but the Golden Gophers Big Ten season has reached a crossroads. We know they can not beat teams ranked #5 on home, road, or neutral floors. We also don't know where the Gophers sit in the Big Ten pecking order. Losing to highly ranked teams is fine if there is consistent effort and the game is close throughout. Unfortunately...
Game Preview: Gophers vs. Northwestern
The Gophers play the Wildcats......again
The Gophers play the Northwestern Wildcats, again, and since the last time they squared off not all that much has changed - other than reconfiguring our expectations for this Gopher team. Since the last game the Gophers have gone 1-2 with then impressive win at Illinois and losses to Indiana and Michigan - certainly understandable,...
