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


NU didn't invest in basketball at all. Welsh-Ryan is the worst gym in the P5 and it's not even close. The renovation project will be huge for Northwestern basketball. Phillips came in and the program improved, but he needed to get Carmody out. The Collins hire was obviously huge and he will get NU to the tournament. Most were thinking next year, but they are in good position this year. 4 losses, all pretty close and to good teams: @Butler, vND on a neutral floor, @Mich St and Minnesota. Big game tomorrow at tOSU.

Carmody and Donahue at BC were very similar. Good Ivy League coaches who recruited the same players at P5 schools. Can't win that way.

I believe NW has done some pretty big work on FB side of things but yeah Welsh-Ryan is pretty crappy. On a side, It'd be nice to see them in the NCAAT (just like Nebraska from a few years ago)
