We wrap up our previews of the Big Ten teams not on Northwestern's schedule with a look at Rutgers. In 2021, many people were singing the praises of Rutgers and envisioned a good season for them.

West Lot Pirates ·

2022/07/05

The previews of the Big Ten teams not on Northwestern's 2022 schedule continues with a look at Indiana. After a brilliant 2020 season, the Hoosiers fell way off in 2021 (where have we heard that before...)

If you're not watching this NU Softball team absolutely dominate all comers this season, now is the time to fix that.

West Lot Pirates ·

2022/02/04

The Northwestern Men's and Women's Basketball teams are in a bit of a funk right now. Sure, the men had a huge upset on the road at Michigan State, but with every opportunity to knock off #8 Wisconsin at home, the same issues we've seen for the past 4.5 years came and bit us on the butt. The women are also on the struggle bus a little after their big win at Iowa. Can either team right the ship as we get into the thick of conference play?
