Jan. 31--After six straight losses, Northwestern is almost at a loss for words to explain their heart-wrenching defeats.
Saturday evening the Wildcats try to put an end to the nonsense when they host Purdue. The margin of defeat for Northwestern in the last five games is 3.4 points.
"I've told the guys that, to me, we're being tested in some way, to test our resiliency, to test how much we're going to keep fighting," NU Coach Chris Collins said. "I think the one thing that comes out of it is how well we're playing. Not many teams go to Michigan State, go to Michigan, go to Maryland and have Ohio State (at Welsh-Ryan Arena) and have a lead or have the game (determined) at the last possession. It just hasn't happened."
The Boilermakers (13-8, 5-3 Big Ten) are coming off an 83-67 win over Indiana. The Wildcats enter with a 10-10 overall record, 1-6 in the conference.
