Northwestern NCAA Tourney?

Will this finally be the year they make the NCAA Tourney. They are the only power 5 school who never been to the Big Dance.

I'd put money on them making the tourney. Their B1G schedule is backloaded, but it wouldn't be crazy at all if they are 7-2 in the B1G at the turn.

And as Iowa showed us in 2014, it doesn't matter how good you are at the end of the season. It only matters if you're considered a "lock" at one point. Northwestern is a "lock" if they start 7-2.

By definition.
If you are a lock, it means if you lost out you'd still make the tourney.
