10 of 15

Best win: vs. Texas
Worst loss: vs. Notre Dame

Could this be the year the Wildcats break the curse and get into the NCAA Tournament? Northwestern is currently six points away from being undefeated, with their two losses coming against an undefeated Notre Dame team and a two-point loss on the road at Butler- never an easy place to win.

Junior guard Bryant McIntosh is posting a career low in field goal percentage and assists up to this point. If he can get going, watch out Big Ten.
