Matt, nice write up, but this line is incorrect: “Martinelli's shot marked Northwestern's third straight win in overtime at home this season, and their fifth straight if you tack on wins over No. 1 Purdue and No. 10 Illinois last season.”

The Cats lost to Purdue in OT at West Lafayette last year after beating them in Evanston..

I see it can be read that way. Matt, sorry for the very Northwesternish correction. That loss at Purdue last year still sticks in my craw (and brain).
