The Wildcat fan base continues to expand:
Here is an excerpt (click link for the full story)
"We so badly need a successful college basketball team in this state. Illinois State is having a great year down in Normal, U of I in Champaign has their moments (and still might make the NCAA tournament), and let’s not even mention my beloved DePaul Blue Demons.
But I’ve been there (in person), I watched my team beat their nemesis (then Cincinnati), and win a share of their conference title (then Conference USA), and go to the NCAA tournament.
I stood at my seats and watched kids run past to “storm the court” and felt the energy of a fan base hungry for success and eager to win and build a tradition.
That was 13 years ago.
Don’t lose sight of the big picture Northwestern, this is the first step of many, to make a name for yourself, not just a “one and done” but to etch your name in history as the first to make it to “the big dance” but remember to keep the music playing.
And be back to dance again next year and for years to come."
