After three huge wins two weeks ago against Michigan State, Minnesota, and Wisconsin the Northwestern basketball team has been in somewhat of a slump. The lost last week to Iowa in a game that Iowa hit
17 three-pointers. The Cats played well in this game but Iowa was on fire and NU could stop their three point attack. Then the Cats hosted their instate rival, the Illini, and the lost on a last second second shot. NU led the whole game against Illinois except for the final 2.9 seconds. They had a fourteen point lead, but Illinois went on a 17-2 run to end the game. It was a heartbreaking loss for both Nu fans and players. Then to make matters worse, yesterday the Cats played a mediocre Michigan team and lost yet again.

Hopefully this slump can be ended and the Cats will get back on track.

i'm sorry the northwestern team isn't doing their best, but i'm sure they'll do better!!!! :)
I'm sorry your beloved Cats haven't been playing up to their skill level lately. Even though I haven't really been following Cats basketball, I can say that I love the school (as well as the volleyball team!) and I truly hope that they can turn this slump around and win the Big Ten Tournament!
