Subject: Will Northwestern Make The Big Dance This Year?
Written By: Indy Gent on 03/04/09 at 11:14 pm
I only post this because they've never been in the Big Show, and they beat Purdue on the road tonight and shocked Michigan State at East Lansing earlier. Their record is 17-11 so far, with Ohio State and the Big Ten Tournament upcoming. I say they still have to win in Columbus or win two in the tournament to have a chance.

I doubt it. I saw their RPI rating in the paper today, it isn't that bad at 78 but I don't think it's good enough for
an at large bid. I think they need to win the Big 10 tournament to have a shot. It's a shame too because North-
Western would probably be a better selection then some of the teams that will make it.

I'm thinking NW might have been a better selection than Butler, now that the Dawgs lost the Horizon League Championship to Cleveland State. As much as I like Butler, this is the second home game where they lost to a ream they should have routed. And they didn't even beat a ranked team this year, if I'm not mistaken. Also, I don't think Davidson and St. Mary's should get there either, for the same reason.
