With only two games remaining on the regular-season schedule, Northwestern women’s basketball (13-5, 11-5 BIG) is in a position to make its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2015. The ‘Cats put the disappointment of last year’s tournament cancellation behind them and picked up right where they left off. The team is ready to do some serious damage on the national stage.
However, the ‘Cats success hasn’t come without some recent struggles. Having cruised through most of January and the beginning of February, Northwestern sat at 9-3 in conference play, and it looked like the Wildcats could still compete for the conference title.
