Northwestern vs Indiana: Cats' Streak on the Line

0:00On March 11th, Northwestern's 15th-seated Wildcats kept their Big Ten tournament hopes alive with a solid 76-66 victory over. 18th-seated Penn State last night. Now at 14-18 overall, they're gearing up for a rematch with 10th-seated Indiana, who's standard 18-13. The cats have the edge here, having beaten the Hoosiers 72-68 in their last meeting in Bloomington. In fact, Northwestern has taken the last six games against Indiana, marking the longest streak in school history for this match-up. Without their six-foot-eleven center, Aronson Page, for a third straight game due to illness, the team adapted well. Coach Chris Collins' noted page remains day-to-day after this next one, which could impact their front court depth. The game tips off at 5.30pm, central time from the United Center in Chicago, streaming on Peacock or on WGN Radio 720. Betting lines have Northwestern as six-and-a-half point underdogs, with a total of 142.

1:02Indiana also deals with injuries, sitting three players for the season, but no other question marks on either side. This clash could extend Northwestern's surprising run, or send them home early.
