Wildcats' season continues

as first reported (tweeted) by Spread Far the Fame, Northwestern will play at URI on Wednesday night. since i have tickets to the NCAA tournament games in Providence on Thursday, i guess my weekend of hoops will just start a day early now. who would have figured that Rhode Island was the place to be for a Northwestern basketball blogger?

it must have been a fairly close call, as NU is only a 7 seed. but this is certainly a game the Wildcats can win. they shouldn't get as out-athleted as they did last year in Tulsa. the game is 7pm ET on espnU, and the winner will play Wichita State or Nevada.
