Northwestern (20-9, 11-7 Big Ten) hosts Penn State (17-12, 8-10 Big Ten) tonight at Welsh-Ryan Arena at 8 p.m. for Senior Night. Keeping in mind COVID eligibility could extend their careers, this could be the final night at Welsh-Ryan Arena for a legendary group: Boo Buie, Chase Audige, Robbie Beran, Roy Dixon III and Tydus Verhoeven.
The Wildcats are currently in a three-way tie for second place in the Big Ten with Maryland and Michigan, on the wrong side of tiebreakers for both. Picking up a win tonight will be key to Northwestern's campaign for a double-bye in the Big Ten tournament, a cherry on top of an outstanding regular season. The Wildcats have the chance to win 12 Big Ten games for the first time in school history and finish the season with a 14-4 record, cementing Welsh-Ryan as one of the toughest places to play in the conference and the country.
