Do we help end a Chicago curse this year?

Interesting take on Northwestern basketball and the hope in Evanston to make the tournament for the first time ever this year.

Really is too bad that Coble didn't come back.

This is their best chance in a long time.
They lose Juice Thompson after this year,but Cobb might be ok at pg.
They have a window til Shurna graduates.

Had Coble not been hurt last year they would have made it easy then too.

Northwestern will go to the Tourney this year, the NCAA tourney, put it on the board. They are going into the B10 with plenty of wins and with the ACC and Pac 10 still being down there are spots available. The strength of the Big Ten will help them, but they do have to beat a couple of the top teams.

They have a chance but I've thought that the last couple of years and they didn't make it. The thing is this is a really tough conference and with the talent that Northwestern has (not that they don't have good players) it's just going to be tough to beat a lot teams in this conference.

If Northwestern doesn't make it this year they never will though.
