This week is the season finale of a weeks long cutthroat competition that pits personalities from around the world against each other. It features strong teamwork and moments of mental collapse, and at the end of it all there is a winner, or quite possibly winners plural. That’s right. The end of the Big Ten […]
PHOENIX — Baylor Scheierman has been living out one childhood dream after another.

An alliterative attempt to assuage anxieties at approaching athletic arbitrations. It is, I am told, almost March. That season is, to many degenerates—including many of you here!—zero hour. Hither comes bracket season. Yon goeth the bottom feeders. THE CROWN APPROACHETH. …or the NCAA Tournament. Whatever. We’ve got bracketology updates—not because, as a Northwestern fan, I’m […]

The latest AP Top 25 didn’t bring any surprises for UConn. The Huskies retained the top spot, which they’ve held all season, and monopolized the first-place votes for the seventh week in a row. It did bring some history, though. On Monday, Geno Auriemma became the all-time leader in AP Poll appearances by a coach […]
After snapping its five-game losing streak with a thrilling win over Maryland, Northwestern (11-16, 3-13 B1G) heads down to Bloomington to face Indiana (17-10, 8-8 B1G) on Tuesday evening.
