Northwestern Basketball once 2012 seems to have turned around their program as they have now had six twenty game winning season and perhaps this was the most successful yet for the growing program and Chris Collins. One look at Northwestern Wildcats record prior to this time period for decades who has had perhaps in its 118 year history Northwestern basketball has had perhaps the worse basketball sport program ever imaginable.
This team was the best chance and I actual got my ass out to a bar on a Saturday Night whcih I disdain, just so I can say I actually watched Northwestern Wildcats in march madness tournament as this is definatley something I have never done in my life and missed an opportunity back in 2017 as t was the only other time Northwestern went to the big dance and the NCAA tournament. Northwestern played UCLA which is the paragon of college basketball programs and northwestern must be the anti-thesis of California Los-Angeles
Which begs the question how did Chris Collins turn this program around and why has Northwestern ball been so bad and awfully atrocious to the bone prior to 2010 or whatever. One can do a Google search of their annual records of this school based in Evanston, Ill an see they were so bad I had to stop scrolling by the late seventies. For some reason despite the great caliber of the school the teams have been atrocious and it was accepted for some reason maybe because it was a academic and private school playing in a league made up mostly of state subsidized schools. How much of this state money went into the coaches coffers and paying to play for these players of the past is not known but can be highly speculated.Somehow there is now bigger money onto getting to this big dance tournament and hopefully Northwestern has found a a way to fix this leak and have a new pipe into this money making machine for their basketball program for good and make more appearances more perpetuity as I want to see this school in the final four much like Loyola-Chicago some years back.
