Let the madness begin

today marks Northwestern's entry into Joe Lunardi's Bracketology. we're not in, but we're in the conversation. i hope this month turns out better than it did ten years ago. in February 1999, NU got to 14-6 and 6-4 in the conference. there was some bubble talk then, too, even by one Richard Phelps. Digger was on campus for a non-basketball related speaking engagement in Harris Hall and took our questions about the Wildcats' at-large chances. of course, that was before NU wrapped up the month by losing six in a row.
