They are 15-4 with a favorable schedule remaining. They are the only power conference school to never make the tourney.

Yes. Was gonna start this thread a couple of weeks ago but didn't want to jinx it.

They have a good team, and the Big Ten is down, mainly at the top of the conference. It's the perfect year for them to finally be good.

How can a team out of Chicago in a top conference have never made it?

I dunno. I'll believe it when it happens Selection Sunday. I've had this feeling about Northwestern before recently, though certainly not with this kind of record in late January.

One of five OG DI programs to have never made the Tournament. William + Mary keeps getting close too. The other three are fairly hapless.

Haven't finished with a winning record in conference since 1968 and only made it to .500 in conference once since then in 03-04

That is a DAMN impressive level of suck. I will never feel bad about Auburn's basketball history again.

Up 5 at the half, but I think they were beating Ohio St in the 2nd half of both games last year and lost. A win today would put NU at 4-1 in B1G road games.
