[tornado]

In one Big Ten game, Wisconsin beat Northwestern 60-50, but Northwestern is dooming itself now that they are into the Big Ten season...
that talk of a possible NCAA bid could be creeping close to the cliff...

They played the game last night using basically only 5 players...like it was a do-or-die game...
all but 12 minutes were played by the five starting guys, two starters went all 40 minutes, and only two subs saw action, each getting six completely unproductive minutes.

Northwestern has already started the conference going 1-3, but wearing our their roster with another 14 conference games plus a tourney remaining is gonna be tough......
