NU Can't Top Ohio State


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.

Northwestern's comeback was quite impressive, and it's unfortunate that they ended up losing. Hopefully there will be a miracle!

It's depressing to look back on the end of the season and see that the Cats didn't make the NCAA March Madness tournament. They had a decent shot, but they just blew it in the end. Hopefully they can improve next year!

I'm not a hugh sports fan, unless its soccer, but Northwestern seems to be pretty impressive. If only they had done better in the end...

Peter, you are just crazy about Northwestern. I hope you get into it!

Also, I'm not a big fan of basketball but I never expected the cats to do this good!
