Drew Crawford readies for chance at redemption
26 Jan 2012 | 2:48 pmNorthwestern hosts Purdue Saturday at Welsh-Ryan Arena at 3 p.m. It will be a chance for the Wildcats to forget about two 20-plus point losses at Wisconsin and at Minnesota, with the loss against the Golden Gophers probably the tougher one to swallow. The Wildcats missed their first 14 shots and shot 36 percent. "That night you try to forget about it, which is nearly impossible to do, because the whole plane ride home and when you go to sleep you think about how terribly you played and the next couple days you watch the film and break down and learn what you can do to improve," Drew Crawford… -
Bill Carmody isn't that much of an RPI fan
24 Jan 2012 | 12:35 pmNorthwestern's RPI this week stands at 36. If the Wildcats were to get into the NCAA tournament it would probably be because of their RPI -- or if they win the Big Ten tournament in March. But NU coach Bill Carmody isn't really a fan of the RPI. He was asked Monday about Murray State and whether or not they should get a high seed in the tournament, since the No. 11 Racers are the last team in college basketball with an undefeated record (20-0). Murray State's RPI is 33. "I had some Princeton teams that had pretty good records and one was seventh in the country in the second-to-last poll [in… -
Wildcats need to practice sharing before Purdue comes to town
23 Jan 2012 | 11:56 amIt was a pretty bad afternoon Sunday for the Wildcats in Minnesota, where they dropped their contest to the Golden Gophers 75-52. NU missed its first 14 shots and went on to shoot only 30 percent (9 of 30) from the field in the first half and a paltry 32.7 percent (18 of 55) for the game. It was the second consecutive loss for the Wildcats and the second in a row where the 'Cats lost by at least 20. "We had a rough night last night at Minnesota and we missed our first 14 shots, and I don't know if that's really ever happened," coach Bill Carmody said Monday. "Our first few shots were layups… -
What Joe Paterno meant to Pat Fitzgerald
22 Jan 2012 | 4:35 pmNorthwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald is the type of guy who wears his emotions on his sleeve, and so it went when he spoke of his admiration for Penn State coach Joe Paterno. Paterno won his 400th game against the Wildcats in 2010 in State College, Pa. and Paterno tied the all-time record for Division I victories against the Wildcats this past October -- right before Jerry Sandusky was arrested. And it was at that October game at Ryan Field, with Paterno sitting up in the press box that the 85-year old coach asked to meet Fitzgerald's three boys during halftime. It was a moment that Fitzgerald… -
Former Wildcat golfer David Lipsky wins Asian Q School
21 Jan 2012 | 11:58 amNorthwestern 2011 graduate David Lipsky shot a final round four-under 68 to win the Asian Tour Qualifying School tournament Saturday in Thailand. Lipsky, a 2010 Big Ten individual golf champion, earned his Asian Tour card for the 2012 season. Lipsky's victory is impressive. He beat out a record field of 599 golfers and was one of 444 golfers to sign up for the first round of Q school, held in Hua Hin, Thailand Jan. 11-14. The highlight of the tournament for Lipsky was probably receiving a tweet from fellow Wildcat golfer Luke Donald, who wished him the best of luck.
