Northwestern had a losing record five years in a row after making their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance – but they're primed for a return. nrarmour on the Wildcats' surprise season
There also were extenuating circumstances. Northwestern played its home games at Allstate Arena while Welsh-Ryan Arena was renovated during the 2017-18 season, and saying the place lacks atmosphere is putting it nicely. It’s outdated, spartan and near-impossible for students to get there, and it’s easy to see why DePaul finally abandoned it.
Having lost its best player from last season — Pete Nance went to North Carolina as a graduate transfer — Northwestern was picked to finish 13th in the 14-team Big Ten. But Collins believed there was more to his team than outsiders were seeing. When Northwestern held then-No. 13 Auburn to 43 points in a 1-point “rock fight” in Cancun, Collins and the Wildcats knew they were going to be fine. Though they promptly got thumped by Pittsburgh upon their return, they rebounded with a convincing win at Michigan State, then No. 20, in East Lansing, Michigan.
Buie and Audige are both averaging 15 points or better, and it was Buie's bucket that clinched the win over Indiana. On the other end, Northwestern is allowing 61.9 points per game, 20th in the country.
