The NU basketball played today in what had been labeled as the biggest game in Northwestern basketball history. They played the Ohio State Buckeyes and if the won the would perhaps have sealed a bid to the NCAA tourney, for the first time in NU history. Unfortunately the Cats came out flat and trailed 25-15 at halftime. They roared back in the second half and took the lead at one point but Ohio State held on and won 53-48. Although the Cats lost the game they are not 100 percent out of the NCAA tourney. If they won the Big Ten tournament they won get an automatic bid, but that is quite a long shot. Hopefully the Cats will pull off a miracle and get it done.
