Northwestern (16-7, 7-5; NET: 52, SOS: 61):Northwestern’s win at Wisconsin Sunday night was a classic of the “we know you’ve watched an unhealthy amount of college basketball this weekend, but here’s another random mid-table Big Ten game to help you fight off those Sunday scaries for a little while longer” genre. Rage, rage against the dying of the weekend! Was this a good game of basketball? Not remotely! But it was a game of basketball, and so we had it on the TV while we did chores and collected a weekend’s worth of small children’s toy detritus up off the floor. Literally anything would do. Of course, NU fans won’t be too bothered by the aesthetics; they needed a win after Thursday’s 17-point home loss to Michigan, and they need to seize on this week’s opportunities (at a reeling but still NET-relevant Ohio State, home against Purdue) to stay on the right side of the bubble at this early date.
